Please log in for more thread options RC - My file is about 30 MB. Last year about this time my whole program
froze. I was a victim of the "calculate tax saving possibilities" feature
that disabled my program because I had too many securities. I am an active
trader, and make between 10 and 30 transactions per month. I have a lot of
stocks with 30 to 90 days of history, after which I sold them. I'd love to
shrink that data file.
