Default money 2003 file is 17mb

how much are you archiving? i have about 5 years of data
and 16mb. it takes a little long on a p4 2.2, but not too
bad.

i would make a backup copy of your original data file,
then experiment. i.e. keep only this year, see how big it
is. keep last 2 years, etc. i think if you delete old
price data for stocks, it may help, too.

If you want to minimize further growth, I would consider downloading
fewer quotes.

Archiving is not a good idea for most people.

Default money 2003 file is 17mb

Hello,
my money 2003 file is too large, currently 17 Mb and it's
taking forever to load. Is there a way to keep about two
years of transactions and archive the rest of them so that
the original file gets smaller?

Right now if I archive something the original file remain
of the same size.

Thanks for the replies, regards.
