I searched and found 2300 entries on "year end" but maybe someone has a
work around.
My INVEST file is approaching 50 megs (QDF & QPH) and I really would
like to seperate data before 2000. As has been noted for several
years, neither Year End Copy nor Copy (newer than 2000) work. I really
don't need data that old. Are there any work-arounds? BTW I don't
reconcile invest in Quicken.
On the other hand, for my checking account, data prior to 2004 seems to
have disappeared.
Go figure.
Thanks for your help.
Frank

What the hells is an INVEST file? Since you're not clear I'm gonna
guess. It contains information about your investments.

Year End Copy and Copy work fine! They are designed not to remove
investing data for good reason. Just because you don't understand it
doesn't necessarily means it's broke.

Actually, assuming it's investment data, you do.

There's always the "open a new Quicken database and enter only the data
you think you need into it by hand" option.

Since you've given me permission to figure I will - you're checking
about was reconciled up to and past 2004 and you did a year end close
for 2004. Quicken did as instructed and removed the data prior to 2004
leaving you confused.

Andrew,
Since Intuit has decided I need that data, should I get their
permission to throw away my paper files?

Actually, it's the government that's saying that. Speak to them.

You can do whatever you want with your paper files...

Please log in for more thread options As you've found out, Quicken simply will not delete investment records on its
own. There's just no good way of allowing mass deletion, but ensuring things
like cost base stay valid.
Your choices are:
1. Delete the transactions manually (not a task I would look forward to).
2. Start a new Quicken file.
My bet is the status quo is your best option. What's wrong with a 50Mb file?
There should be lots of room on your hard drive.
