General Discussion / Merry Christmas and wishing everyone a Happy New Year 2026
« Last post by ideasguy on December 22, 2025, 10:33:44 AM »Christmas in only a few days time!
Just the shopping for the festivity essentials here, then its time to relax and look forward to welcoming our family here when we all get together to celebrate Christmas Day
Too wet for the garden here in Ireland so a good excuse to take it easy
From our family to yours, we wish you a very Happy Christmas, good health and good luck in the New Year and beyond.

Quite pleased with this one. Slightly different to my usual rubbish.

Try this:
Using Transaction Analyser, RIGHT click on the From date date picker field and choose the option "From = Very First Date".
RIGHT click on the TO date date picker field and choose the option "To = Very Last Date".
It may take a few seconds, but does it display ALL transactions OK?
Ive never tried with such a large dataset.

I now have 10 (TEN!) different databases reflecting the different financia responsibilities I have. I just looked and the largest dataset (my own finances) dates back to 1993 and has over (wait for it....) 61000 records.

You must have imported a large number of transactions from your previous Personal Finance Software when you switched to Bank Genie.
Heres some stats about the software I use for development:
Maximum # of records per table file.
1 billion
Maximum size of a table file.
2 gigabytes
Maximum size of an FPT file.
2 gigabytes
Maximum # of characters per record.
65,500
Maximum # of fields per record1.
255
Maximum # of tables open at one time2.
65,535
The table with Bank Genie transactions is called TRANS.dbf
I dont think anyone will exceed its capability.
Our 30,000 or so records is a drop in the ocean compared to the max number of 1 billion
