can delete the data older than 4 years or 7 years from the VFP
environment. The Data Scientist role may suit you very well.

Thanks for the link. Data Scientist is definitely a job for the future
and big $$$ I think! My original post was not so much about reporting;
it was about hauling tons of data over the LAN that's no longer relevant
and the archival process I proposed to resolve that (without permanently
deleting data). As we said in a previous thread, the whole DBF isn't
coming across the network unless you've got commands like REPLACE ALL
etc. and unfortunately in the case of my previous Corporate app at
Sylvan, there's tons of old code from previous devs where they did that
often.
