    I do not know of any way to extract them except to print them. Maybe someone else can chime in on this.

    The only way I know to delete them is as I described. You'd best know what your are doing, too. Be careful, and backup first!

    Thanks for your answer.

    As journal you are talking about the daily report with a printable copy of each invoice and the z Report? If yes, is there any way for extract them as PDF reports and delete them?

    Journals are the biggest offender, and you really don't need to keep them after a year or two. The sales records are still in the database. Delete the journals you don't need, but delete only  few (maybe 20,000 or 30,000) at a time, and shrink the log after each interval.

    There are other tables that grow too large too. Tender entry, traction entry, tax entry. But not so much.

    Do this work in SQL or SQL express manager.

    Good Luck!
