Selecting references by date
Posted: Thu Nov 24, 2016 7:52 pm
This must be possible, but I cannot work out how to select all the references earlier than a particular date. The reason is that I have just finished a large project and want to export all references,dated 1945-12-31 or earlier, which I am probably not going to cite again, into a separate Database, and move their attachments to a different folder, so I can make my current database a lot smaller and faster, ready for new references to be added. I presume the export functions will do that, after which I can delete the references from the old database, but first I need to select them. Selection by date-or-earlier is the only criterion I can think of that will get approximate the right references. If there are ones I want, then I can just copy them from the new database to the old one when I need them.
Sorry if the answer is obvious!
