Hi, Mark,

Another suggestion for your Real Soon Now list. <grin> One thing with the AI database is that it keeps growing and growing and growing. Granted disk space is cheap enough these days, I recently got an external drive 500Gb for $80, but after a point, at what point would a person ever need to 'undo' to the first transaction? Or how many go back to see where things were a couple of years ago?

So, what might be worth adding at some point would be a purge function that would make the current line in the history as the starting line and add new history going forward from that point.

Such functionality would let users keep the history trimmed to whatever length is reasonable for them. Invoking a mandatory backup before the purge might protect people from an "oops" moment. Nothing to have to do right away, I don't think, but might be useful. Besides, does the Access "core" you're using have any performance issues as the number of transaction lines gets longer?

Thanks for your consideration.

Best,
