(Reply) old data/archive records

[Butch Ammon]

| I'm just curious... No biggie, no rush...  I wonder if an 82,000+
| record database is small compared to what others have!

Nothing unsual about that size even for an active file, let alone an
archive.

| Thanks for any tips on archiving old records and/or enabling filePro
| to quickly search through tens of thousands of records when using
| dreport with indexes.

What's slow?  Aren't you using the classic sort-select method with
'lookup -' to find only the records you need, then quit searching?

Hi JP,

No, we're just using standard everyday automatic indexes.  When running a cost 
report from "oldorder" using Request Output, it still reads the 82,000 some odd 
records.  It's okay and runs great, but, well, you know how some people can be. 
They want things NOW.
