unofficial microsoft.public.money FAQ and A
[ Home ]
Q) When I archive, Money complains that my floppy disk is full. How can this possibly be?
A) The archive file is a copy of your entire data file made before any transactions are removed. Archiving knows nothing about compressing data files nor does it know about spanning multiple floppies with large files. (Just because Money backup to floppy knows how to do both of these things, don't think that archive does. It doesn't.) Given these facts and the fact that virtually every data file created by Money is larger than 1.44MB, it should be obvious that unless you have that rare data file that will fit on a floppy, the message you are getting is just Money telling you a fact of life.
