I am trying to get rid (archive, purge etc) to make everyday use of DBA faster.
 
I would appreciate any hints.
 
Heres what I have done so far:
1) made two new companies which are exact replicas of the DBA we have used everyday since 1997/
    a) named one company (#57)  "BUP 1997-2012"
    b) named the 2nd copy  (#12)  "Dixie Precision  2012"
2) changed all users to where they all have access to  company #12. but or course I have access to #12 and #57
3) my goal is to archive or purge all data in company #12 that is before Jan 1, 2010     (this way my folks are wading thru 3 yrs of data rather than 15 years of data.  I am still in the middle of this process, as I have only archived 18,000 work orders and purged some closed sales orders.   I plan on using archiving and purging everything  I can during this next month.
 
I am looking for any help, ideas, hints , warings, etc.
 
Thanks,
Laura
 
 

99, I think, is the Test Data.

Save Settings has 2 levels - Personal and Global.  If you save Personal settings, it saves them on the workstation and the programs look there first so it will override any Global settings.  If you save Global settings, it will only see them if Personal Settings do not exist.
