    You need a separate program for each year.   You cant access the 2018 program from within 2019.

    Thank you Lisa. I do have separate 2016 through 2018 programs. Upon trying to open 2016 i was told i needed Administrator permission ( i am a sole practitioner) ,  however the ProSeries  response was that they were unable to connect to administrator.

    Ugh, I know Ive seen people get that message before, I cant remember the fix for it....if you right click on the desktop icon and choose Run As Administrator does that help at all?
