Enhancing Database Performance 
When you change or remove records, your data can become 
fragmented. You can save disk space and enhance performance 
by compacting the database periodically (such as at the end of 
the week or the month). 
Before compacting the database, you should back up your data. 
For more information on backing up, see “Backing Up Your 
Data” in Chapter 19. 
To compact the database: 
1.  In the Home window, on the Maintenance menu, choose 
Database Utilities and then Compact Database. 
2. Click 
Yes. 
Maintaining Records 
Addresses change, prices rise and fall, and employees receive 
raises. Simply Accounting allows you to easily change or remove 
most information stored in your company data.
