Maximum File Size

The utility is there. Seek and yea will find. Actual file size in QB versions 2006 and up may not differ much afer using the utility.

Allan, I have seen the Clean up Company data in the File>Utilities section. I've knew that it says it specifically states that this won't reduce the size of my company file which is why I didn't use it. Having 1250 total names and

33,000 transactions w/ 82Mb file, I was hoping there was a way to reduce my company file size by condensing old transaction/customer/vendors. In the past, after condensing the file size was significantly reduced. Have you ever used the utility? Was the file size the same? Jeff

Bigger is better.

If you have data that you no longer need then by all means use the clean up function. After cleaning up try creating a portable file and restore from that.

Allen, That an interesting strategy. I wonder if it will work........ Thanks- Jeff

It doesn't make the file smaller. It just marks areas in the middle of the file available. Don't worry about the size on disk. Disk is cheap. Do worry about how many list items you have. Do worry if you aren't on 1000 base T. Intuit like the rest of the software companies now require you to have top top end computers to run their products.

I agree. Big Al deserves a top top end computer. How else could I run Crysis with all the eye candy turned on.
