Getting rid of older records i.e. Receipts, warehouse entries, etc to reduce D/B size.

Is there anyway to get rid of these entries and reorg the database and free up some room??

SQL tools maybe??

Thanks in advance,

Greg

If you look at the installation and system management document you will see guides on how to deal with data deletion :

• To remove individual records, click Edit, Delete. There must be no open entries or

nonzero balances for the records you want to delete.

• To remove a company, click File, Company, Delete.

• If you have access to the development environment for Dynamics NAV, you can

delete individual objects. You can read about the development environment in the

Application Designer’s Guide.

• If you need to delete almost everything except a couple of objects, such as some

reports, you can save the objects by exporting them before you delete the database.

You can then click File, Database, Delete to delete the

Please have a look at it .

I’ll give it a try,
