I think both are useful. I don't mind having several years worth of old
data - especially if old (now obsolete) accounts are able to be hidden
from the normal view. Having something to automatically do what I
currently have to do manually would be nice. Having it work so that it
automatically happened at the last point of the relevant day (so I don't
have to fudge it by putting my balancing splits on 1 July and putting
all 1 July transactions in 2 July with an explanatory note) would be
even nicer.
After a certain period of time though, it would be nice to be able to
"archive" old data into another file.
Yes, sorry, I wasn't clear. I do want to be able to archive OLD old data,
but not necessarily be forced to archive "last year's" data in order to
"close the books". I think I'd like to have a user-defined number of
periods to keep in the same data file and then you can archive older
periods.
Conrad.
