Opening .qbx file from a flash drive in QB Accountant
A client gave me a flash drive with a .qbx file of his company for me to do adjusting entries; however, my Quickbooks Accountant Edition will not open and convert the file. What do I need to do?

What year is the client using vs. what year are you using? You need QuickBooks Accountant of the same year or 1 year newer.
Then, copy the file to your hard drive, go to File > Open or Restore > Convert an Accountant's Copy File
once changes made, how do I give it back?
Also, what things cannot I do with the transfer file?

You can't send back payroll -- read QB Help for full details on what does & does not go back.
