Copy
Copy creates a new file with transactions between specified beginning and ending dates. Uncleared transactions should also be copied to the new file.
Example of Copy
If the current data file, EXFARM, contains transactions for 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and part of 2002 you can use Copy to copy the 1998 and 1999 data into a new file EXFARM98-99. When the COPY FILE window opens it will have automatically named the new file EXFARMCpy.QDF so if the file is to be named EXFARM98-99 the name needs to be changed at this point. Be sure to specify the beginning and ending dates of the transactions to be included since Copy will automatically set the beginning and ending dates to correspond with the beginning and ending dates in EXFARM. Copy can also be used to create files with one year’s data, e.g., EXFARM98, EXFARM99, etc. After using Copy, the original file EXFARM will still contain the transactions for 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002.
