I have 16 years of data and a 65 meg datafile. Was wondering if I
set my system clock to 2005 whether I could then archive everything
before 12/31/04 and keep everything since in my active registers?

This, if possible, would certainly speed up the opening of the file.

If I did it that way I would not have restore capabilities if I needed
to put it back together.

Out of curiosity, I did some timing on opening a 300MB file with 30 years of
data versus a 15MB file with 8 years of data

Time to open file after a cold boot:
300MB = 11.8 sec
15MB = 3.4 sec

Time to reopen file:
300MB = 8.7 sec
15MB = 2.8 sec

Doesn't Quicken has this ability built-in?
File=>File Operations=>Year-End Copy
The box on the bottom of new pop-up window will let you select/type
12/31/04 as the last day of data to archive.
The current file could be left intact or be truncated - your choice.

Am I missing something here?
