new year

[Nelson Handcock]

Good question Colin...

Well for me, I found GN taking longer and longer to open as I added
transactions. I do the books for a not-for-profit association that turns
over $160K in sales annually. 80 - 90 new invoices a week from customers, 6
- 10 invoices from vendors each week.

I have to get the accounts audited annually, so it makes sense to keep a
separate file for each financial year.

So while GN allows me to do reports for which-ever period I want, the size
of the file, the time it takes to run a report was not practical.

Apologies for hijacking the original thread...

Thanks & Regards,
