Yes, it would be easy to split a file, if that would work ok for you. If I wanted to do something like that, I would make a copy of the file, rename it to something else, and then just decide how many rows I wanted to take out, go to the EDIT option, and choose DELETE ROWS. You could even make smabbler mileage files, like a daily or weekly one if you wanted, depending on whether you had to turn the thing into your boss. If they have Windows, you can make an Excel file or you can make a PDF file by choosing EXPORT from the files menu.
