Thanks to both of you for the "warning" heads up on the archive feature. I
will leave it as status quo.

Answers to questions you asked in order: Mostly; transactions somehow linked
to investment accounts (transfers of cash in and out, for instance) are not
removed. Yes.

Answer to question you didn't ask: Just Say No to File|Archive.

Smaller than average.

Yes. Don't do it. Especially, don't think that archive will make
your file significantly smaller or faster.

I am running Money Deluxe 2007, my data file is about 13 MB, an auto backup
from this morning is about 17 MB, if I select File > Backup, the resulting
file is about 3 MB are these sizes typical? I am assuming the backup is a
compressed file, and the autobackup is not. My data goes back to 2003 when
I started using Money.

I have never used the archive feature. If I archive data prior to 2007 is
the data gone from the current data set? Do I need to explicitly open the
archive to see older data?

Thanks
