Re: file is getting too large

My file is 26-30 MEGABYTES. I guess the speed issue has to do with your
hardware.

I am running on Windows 98 and Money 2003. I do not feel that my file is too
large because of all the data I have. i.e.. [at]10 credit cards through the
years. [at]8 loans, home inventory and my 401K. Yes sometimes my computer runs
slow but for the size of the drive and memory available I think it does a
good job.

2 or 3 floppies might be 3*1.44MB = 4.32MB max. You have nothing to worry
about. I am at about 16MB Money file with data back to 1993 and mine
works fine. I'm running a t667MB with 128MB on Win 98.

Cindy, how old is your computer? While that may not be the only reason for

slowing down, I believe that archiving is NOT the answer to the problem. Steve

guess i'm getting concerned because it's so large i can't
operate other programs while i have money running, and in
a couple years the problem can only get worse, i assume.
mine is also 2-3 floppies...

maybe not as much of a problem as i think?

How big to you consider too big?
Have you made your file smaller under options?
I have info starting in 96 and my file is about 2 or 3 floppies (depending
on the day) compressed.
