 Re: Shrinking a Money File I have been using Money since M95 and, apart from an experiment to see what happened, I have never archived. Money will arbitrarily (seemingly) decide to compress your .mny file but I have never worked out the algorithm and it certainly isn't user controlled. -- Regards Bob Peel, Microsoft MVP - Money For UK tips & fixes see http://support.microsoft.com/default...d=fh;EN-GB;mny.

| Shrinking a Money File I just upgraded to Money 2006 and I archived all my records prior to 01/01/2004. Is there a way to now shrink my money file in size? It's still at 20 Megs, same as it was before the archive. I assume since a majority of the data has been archive that I can compress all the open space in the file? I tried repairing the file (Standard and quick) and that didn't shrink the file. Does anyone know of a way? Thanks.... |
