Default Re: Deleting Old Entries

I suggest you read this thread:

Archiving has limited utility. I do not recommend it. But, if you go into it
with proper due diligence, it might be what you want. It may not be what you
were needing.

Don't expect that removing these will speed things up or make things
smaller significantly. It may be that your file is getting bigger
with quotes.

That said, Archive does what you describe. Most people don't get the
result they hope for, but it will remove the older non-investment
transactions and adjust the balances to compensate.

The "archive" file is a copy of your file as it existed at the time
of archiving. The continuing file will have those transactions
removed.

Default Deleting Old Entries

I'm using Microsoft Money Version 8 and have about 15 years of entries in my
account. I no longer need anything over about 7 years old.

How do I delete these old entries without messing up the current balance?
This is obviously based on the beginning balance from 15 years ago.

All of these years are taking longer and longer to back up the file.
