Starting a new year of sales

[stretch]

I have a set of files that contain my 03/04 sales and I now want to start up a new year. Is there a preferred method of doing this?

My files are as follows:

variety.fp5

ProductCatalogue.fp5 (Line items between variety and Supplier)

Supplier.fp5

Customers.fp5

ShipLineItems.fp5

0304Orders.fp5

The files I need for the new year are 0304Orders and ProductCatalogue.

The preferred method is to be sure there is a DATE field in Orders, and continue on. Do NOT create any new files. Orders should hold ALL orders.

The preferred method of using a date to identify order is have a date field.
