ARCHIVE HISTORY IN CLIPXE

First, make a backup. Click the button below for this. Use the copy / paste method in the article below.

Make a Backup - Copy / Paste

Once you have the copy of CLIPV, rename the folder to be appropriate. Call it ArchiveCLIP and have your workstations create a shortcut on their desktops to NetCLIP/ArchiveCLIP/CLIPV/vclip.exe. Rename this shortcut to Archived CLIP. This way your users will know that it's the archived version of CLIP.
​
You might even want to change the name of the folder in the initial setup to ArchiveCLIP2003 or something to help you later differentiate what data has been archived.
​
Once you have this completed, in your "production" version of CLIP (the one you will continue to use everyday) you go to Files > Global Replacement > Erase history > it will ask you for a date to "delete history from beginning of file to: __/__/__", enter the date you want to erase up to and click on "proceed with deletion".
​
You've now archived the history in CLIP.
