Thanks, Steve. I will definitely save this message.
I have seven accounts that I bring up each time. So, that would really be
quite a bit of work. The other problem is that I think I have been using
money talks for around two years or more so far. So, I would need to get
2006 and 2007 and maybe even part of 2005 set aside in all seven accounts.
But at least we have something in the steps you outlined. An archiving
feature would certainly be easier for people with multiple accounts, though.

Hi Paul,
I would agree that some sort of archiving would be good, but one should have
the ability to archive by date range, obviously, a person can choose the
first day of a given year as the start date and the last date as the end
date, if desired. But they can do any kind of archiving by date range, and
that would be more flexible. A person might want to archive restricted
transactions as well for examination purposes, for instance.
I recall that Rob at APH said, about a year ago on this list, that they have
a test register that has some 44000 records in it and it was performing
correctly.
There is a way to archive your records that Gary mentioned which should do
the trick until there is a more simplified method. You probably know, but
I'll give some steps that work for me. There might be an easier way though.
This assumes you have "save last workspace at start up" checked under
Options, Settings. This is a method to archive all records from year 2007
in some detail for beginners. Wouldn't be surprised if there could be a few
steps taken that would make this method quicker.
1. Open money talks to the register from which you want to archive.
2. Save it under a different file name, File menu, "save as". I think the
alt+f, then letter a key will get you there quickly. For instance, you can
use the name "2007 Money Talks Register", or whatever. The default will
save in the Money Talks directory with extension of .mtf. Your title bar,
read with ctrl+F9 will read the new file name you saved as. Your old
register name, the one you first loaded, has now gotten this new name. But
don't panic, the original register is still saved on disk under it's
original name.
3. Write down or remember the balance on the last transaction of 2006. It's
in the balance column, usually the last one on the right.
4. Find the last transaction of 2006. One quick way is to use the ctrl+d
command, and type 12/31/2006, (notice the slashes.) You can type
01/01/2007. In any event, locate the last transaction for 2006 and put
yourself on it.
5. Now that you are on the last transaction for 2006, hold down the
ctrl+shift keys, press the Home key on the six-pack of keys. You've just
selected all transactions above the first transaction for 2007.
6. Release the ctrl+shift and press the delete key on the six-pack. Anser
yes to the question, "do you want to really delete these x number of
records", or however it is phrased.
7. Delete the transactions below the last transaction for 2007. That is,
use the ctrl+d command, type 12/31/2007, hit enter and you will be on or
close to the last transaction of 2007.
8. Move to the first transaction for 2008, maybe there are none. If so,
you don't need step 9.
9. Delete all of the transactions below the last one for 2007.
ctrl+shift+End key on six-pack to select them, delete key to delete them and
answer yes to the question.
10. You're almost done. Press alt+enter to go to properties. In the
starting balance box, enter the balance you wrote down in step 3. Then hit
enter.
Now you will have a register of only 2007 records with correct balances from
start to finish.
Close money talks to save the new register in your work space. I think you
can use the ctlr+s save command without closing money talks, but not sure.
Make sure you answer yes to save changes question.
When you open the program again, Your original register you started with
won't be in the work space. Remember you saved it as "2007 Money Talks
register", or whatever name you used, and also removed records from it. No
problem, Go to the file menu and at the bottom locate that original register
and hit enter. Now it's in your workspace and wwill load each time you
start the program. It hasn't changed, it's the same large register you've
always had. Great for using restriction commands and searches.
If you want to not have the newly created "2007 Money Talks Register" always
loading in your workspace, either press ctrl+F4 while viewing it, or use the
close option under the file menu. If you want to view it again, use the
ctrl+o command, or use open under file menu, and navigate to the "2007 Money
Talks Register and load it. Or the quickest way to load it is to select it
from the bottom of the file menu.
Hope this is of some help, especially to beginners.
Steve
