Can someone clear up some issues "I think" I'm having with Archiving & Condensing data? I'm using QB 2005 Premier Manufacturing & Wholesale edition (5 user).
I have taken a copy of our company file (.qbw) and decided to perform a A&C on it to see if I could get the file sized down. I have data from Jan 1 2004 to present in this file. It is currently 65.2 meg in size.
I ran the A&C and set it to 12/31/2004. We currently close monthly by the
15th of the next month and are up to date for March 2006. When the A&C is complete, I have the archive copy 65.2 meg in size (just a copy of the original? because if I open it, I have current invoices in it) and the condensed version which comes out to 59.7 meg (but when I open this it still has all the 2004 invoices in it and appears that nothing has changed.)What I was expecting is to have an Archive file that contained all of 2004 information and the new file would be 2005 to current. Is this not what the purpose of A&C is?
I have tried both checking all the options and checking none of the options in the wizard and see no difference.
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks Charlie
