Can you archive off data in Maximizer?

Why not just create a second "Archive" database, then each month delete all the data files from that folder and copy the data files from your "Live" database into the "Archive" folder? Of course, you still have to delete the data you don't want from the "Live" database.

Not technically elegant but it does the job and has the advantage of copying current security setups too - may not be an issue unless you have frequent changes to security settings.

I guess an alternative would be to use the "Transfer" capability of Max vs. O/S level file copy, but the O/S level file copy can be automated.

That would work the first time, but then after deleting the documents from the "live" database if you copy those data files to the "archive" folder you would lose the documents you archived originally. I don't think that's what the original poster wants.

I would suggest experimenting with the

File > Transfer > Address Book Entries...

feature as a way of inserting the information into your archive database.
