Archive Copy, Use New w/Less Data

Question

My database file is quite large.  I would like to strip several years off leaving me only the last 4-years.  Every time I try this, it loses the One Step Update features (passwords are gone and no way to know which accounts gets updated) as I don't do all of them.  Why is this the case?  I wan't to use the new created file that only contains the last 4-years.  This feature has always been kind of quirking, in my opinion.

The feature still exists.  I suggest you actually read the FAQ before responding: FAQ: Year End Copy

Added Note:  Apparently from what I've read, this is normal, so that the copy does not conflict with your original.  So, Quicken is doing what it is supposed to do.  However, I have the issue of not being able to Activate one account as mentioned in the last post.  I'm back to my original file.  I will try the procedure again (maybe something corrupted).

That feature does not seem to exist anymore.  The attachment illustrates my options.  I've tried all three.  I have a version that contains only the 4-years now, however, I can't get one of the accounts to activate the download.  My screen freezes and all I can do is delete the task.
