Hi RoseJillB,

Thank you for your response. It is appreciated.

According to the steps you provided me needed to have upgraded to the latest version of Quickbooks which I did. However on completion I had to re-register which I tried and it failed over and over and now I can no longer get into QB 2015.

Therefore, I cannot open my Quickbooks to perform the migrate process.

I only have backup files of my 2015 Quickbooks and nowhere can I find a way to restore this backup to Quickbooks Online.

So I have decided to purchase QB 2018, but here is my question..

If I buy QB 2018, can I restore my backup file into QB 2018 and then migrate to QB Oline?

Thank you for your help and hope you can resolve my issue for me.
