Yes. If I had one account, no real problem, but I have seven of them.
That would be an afternoon's work<grin>. Right now, I am just leaving things
alone.
If they did build an archival tool into the program, they might have to make
a program that would go back and check all previous years and ask if you
wanted them archived up to the present.
I suppose they'd have to then make some way of viewing those archives just
in case you had to check something from last year.

Hi Paul,
Oh yes, definately, an archiving feature, especially in a case like yours,
would be wonderful. Hopefully the folks at aph will consider it and
implement it. Would make life simpler.
