Hi Doug,
Perhaps you have been misguided by tech support and there might be other issues. I have seen files well over 1 and 2GB with no issues. I have also worked with clients that have been told the same thing and it ended up being other things that were happening such as network issues, backup issues, file corruptions, etc. There are many components that can affect file intengrity. Starting a new file is not alway the best an unless you actally start a new file and transfer the opening balances over, you will only be increasing your audit trail. I own and have used the tools for moving data and creating new files but before you go that route, consider the possability that it may not be needed. If you want to discuss this further, check out our site at www.qualityconsultingandbilling.com.

I hope this helps,
Denise

Many QuickBooks users have experienced the same issue and except for archiving data there is not a solution. Even if you repair the file, the problem will return.

BCR has helped many small distribution businesses move to software that grows with you for no more money than "low end packages" cost when you consider the year after year upgrade cost, their low level of support you receive for your dollar, their lack of functionality, and their user limits for scalability.

BCR Software is in use by distribution companies throughout the US and Canada. Our support personnel are second to none.

Now for the great news! BCR Software has introduced Genesis that allows "low end package" users with a cost effective and easy upgrade path. Most low end package data can be transferred directly into Genesis.

BCR Software is a solid ERP and Distribution Software solution that offers fully integrated Wireless Warehouse Management, E-Commerce, Order Entry / POS, Inventory management (with min/max, extended EOQ and service level functions), manufacturing assemblies, extensive product pricing functionality, job tracking, payroll, time clock / job clock systems, and much more. www.BCRSoftware.com

in response to: BCRSoftware

You have couple options:

1. Archive the QuickBooks file
2. Create a portable file and reopen the file - this may reduce the size
3. Delete old transactions
4. Transfer the current year data into a new data file OR
5. Upgrade to Enterprise version +10% off on the software

Before you proceed with any of the above options, always make a backup.
