Hi Rosemary,
I'm without my MacBook Pro (failed Logic Board) since last Saturday,
so am very restricted :-(
Are you using Moneydance 2010?
It is a free upgrade from MD 2008.
Have you checked the support discussions?

"keep in mind that an archive saves all the transactions in the
current/open database before a certain date and then either deletes
them from the current db, or not, depending on the check boxes in the
archive function window. In other words, depending on how you set
these boxes when you archived, your monthly archives could be a single
months worth of transactions or include transactions from previous
months too, and may only include "cleared" ones at that. The important
thing to remember is that "keep old transactions" refers to keeping
them in the current/open db, vs the archive, and therefore affects
what will be saved the next time an archive is done."
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi there,
I have a problem. I've been using Moneydance for quite a few years
an have just discovered that when I so carefully archived off the
last tax years that in fact only a few of the records were archived
to the archive copy..so I have no accurate records of transactions
etc. I have no idea where everything went if it wasn't archived...
If I'd known that it lost everything I would not have "archived" it.
That is water under the bridge so to speak, but has anyone done this
and have it work? There are no instructions..the help file merely
points to the menu item
What;'s lost is gone, but how do I do it so it works?
How do I make a a copy that can be read by other systems with
categories etc? qif backups I discovered only coped the current
account..so year of work are gone.
Does anyone know financial software that doesn't require an
accounting degree, but will import transactions from the bank and
allow categorisation? What about a program like the old Windows 3
Quicken?
I'm a bit upset about this.
