minimizing database

[debbie]

I need to export some data from my database and save it
because my database it getting too large. Can someone
tell me how to do this or lead me in the right direction.

Debbie,

Make a copy of your database to keep as an archive, and then just delete
older records in your main one. Preferably, in the archive db you should
only have the records you delete from the main one, so you would get no
duplicates if you put them all back together. For instance, in an invoicing
database you would archive previous years' invoices.

HTH,
Nikos
