Hi All,

For our newsroom I wrote a 'planningsdatabase', containing all events

happening in the world which are relevant for our radiostation. It all works

flawless, and now I'm working on the archive-side of the system. I want to

be able to keep the records/events which are expired, but not in the

database our users can access at first. Due to the large amount of records,

this will be slowing down the system to much.

I tried to export all those expired records, but there is no

'append'-option, so every export has to go to it's own file. And that's not

what I want, I'd like to have 1 archive-database.

Is there a way to handle this problem, or does someone have another idea how

to do this ? (I tried omitting all records expired, but there are many

filters/searches used in the database, and they conflict with the

omittingfilter)

Kind regards,

Andr

Work it in the other direction. In the current database, do a find to get the records to export, then open the archive database and import the found set from the current database. Lastly, delete the records in the found set from the current database.

You can also write a script to take care of this stuff (remember to change to single-user before running though).
