1. If 
Enable Archive Prompt is checked in the Transaction Archive window, 
PCCharge will examine its database during startup. If the size of the PCCharge

transaction processing, and decrease the likelihood of database corruption. 
 
Technical Details:
 If you click YesPCCharge will first check to see how 
old the transactions in its database are. It will then consult the value of the 
Keep Transactions in the Transaction Archive window. Transactions that are 
younger than Keep Transactions will not be included in the archive. 
Transactions that are applicable to archiving and  that are older than Keep 
Transactions 
will be moved out of the current database and into the archived 
database.  
 
3. 
PCCharge will consult the value of the Archive Location in the Transaction Archive 
window to determine where it should put the archived database. You can configure 
this location in the Transaction Archive window. 
 
4. 
If you've previously archived the database, PCCharge will append any newly archived 
transactions to that existing database (unless you specify a different Archive 
Location
).
