You should periodically save copies of your shipment data to disk or to your local drive. Archiving this data allows you to delete old information from your computer, yet preserve a copy for your records in case you need to view the information at a later date.
To archive your shipment data:
On the File menu in the Shipment History window, click Archive Shipments. The Archive Shipments window appears.
Do one of the following:
Select All Shipments to archive all shipment data.
Select All Shipped On or Before (DD-MMM-YYYY)
to archive only shipment data older than a certain date. The box next
to this option defaults to the latest acceptable archive date. To change
this date, click the down arrow in the box and select a date on the calendar.
This date determines which shipment information is archived and which
remains in the database.
Tip: You cannot delete the most recent two weeks' worth of data
from your computer.
Click the OK button. The Save As window displays a default file name containing the date, for example 20100711.mdb, which is in the format YYYYMMDD.
Keep the default file name or type a new file name, and then click the Save button.
When you see 100% in the Archive Shipments window, click the Done button. A message recommends a database backup and shows the path and file name for the backup file, such as C:\Ups\Wstd\Backup\yyyymmdd.001.
Click the OK button.
