I have had issues with large data files in the past, similar to what just occured in the recent post “Manager crash, unable to cope with large GL report”. One of the reasons we moved away from Simply Accounting in our non-profit was because it was so restrictive & data files became gargantuan. Manager was an awesome breath of fresh air, allowing us a great deal of latitude in how we use it, tailoring it to our individual needs. I understand the need for retaining the history file with the business, but can the case not be made that when importing an existing business as a template for the new business, one doesn’t want the history file from the old business to come into the new blank business? Could there be a way to remove that unneeded history from the new empty business, with a batch delete, at the time it is created? Thanks for your help.
