Year end options

[Alain Dormoy]

Hi!

Sorry I'm reacting a bit late.
This is exactly what I've bean meaning to ask.
I've been using GC for 8 years now and I'd like to keep only the entries of 
the current year and say the former or the two former readily available, 
with all the rest saved separately in a place I can access them if 
(unlikely) I need them.
>From what you guys are saying it seems GC can do that. Can you give the 
procedure  pls?
