    Archiving Golfer Result Files                          FILE: FA.HLP 
                                                                               
    At the end of each summary period, it is necessary to "clean-out" 
    the old  results so that the file for the next period contains 
    results only from    that period.  To do this, you could simply 
    delete the old file and start   a new one.  This is fine if you do 
    not plan on going back at the end of the year to see where you've 
    been.  Besides, the cost of a good quality disk is not worth 
    scrimping.                                                       
                                                                               
    Archiving a file means RENAME.  If you are familiar with DOS, then 
    this is immediately clear to you.   All that DBK does to the file is 
    rename it so  that your next period entry will create a new file 
    using the same old name. 
                                                                              
    Archiving a file is done using the Combine/Split Facility.  This is 
    accessed through the Main Menu Utility option.
                                                                               
    All that is needed is a new name and DBK will rename the current 
    period file for you.  Do not forget that this should be done AFTER 
    you have summarized the file and have indicated to DBK that this was 
    an end-of-period summary. 
                                                                              
    Archiving files is a good DBK practice and takes only a couple of 
    minutes. It is suggested that after each month, you use this option 
    to protect your data investment.
