How can I export Purchase Orders to speed up QuickBooks?

Apr 17, 2006 1 Replies

My company has several rather large QuickBooks (Contractor Edition 6.0) data files. Our largest , which is around 540 MB, has been slowly decreasing in speed and performance. Our controller believes that removing a large chunk of old (2004) closed POs will help our accounting department avoid the increasing delays whenever certain transactions are made while in multi-user mode. I hate to sound ignorant here, but I am. So let me ask:


1) Is there a way to remove/export a certain rainge of POs?


2) Would doing so indeed speed up, say, invoice processing?



Thanks in advance for your answers.



You can remove the old PO's but I doubt if it will make much difference. See

for a program that can do a mass removal of the old PO's
