How do I delete history?

It's a smart idea to clean up the database. Removing records that don't need to be part of the database keeps the program running efficiently. The time required to find, sort, and report is reduced by this simple little step.  

 

Step 1: Backing up the database

Before proceeding, back up the current files. Always make a back up of the database BEFORE running routines that modify or delete transactions. See the help topic titled How do I back up the database?

 

Step 2: Running Delete History

For example, printing a check, closing a job, terminating an account, shutting off service are all tasks that will create a transaction. The application creates the transaction and saves it to the hard drive on your PC.
