We use the desktop version. Our live.dbs carried over old data from 2006 that was incompatible with the last global version upgrade we did in 2023. This glitch caused severe file corruption taking our company down for 7 days. Upon restoration, the Intuit high tier engineer recommended to split the database/archiving anything prior to 2016. In the process of him restoring the .dbs, the system created over 5k entries of "negative inventory". We were told by the high tier Intuit tech that any negative inventory prevents splitting the .dbs & we would have to create a "new company file". Our active .dbs is far too large, needs to be compressed/archived or we need to create a new company file. We can't risk more down time. How can we safely "split" or "archive" the older records with this negative inventory (or) how do we "create a new company file"?
