# Auto create archives

This window is displayed by clicking on the + option on the archive screen

This form is modal. You must close it before you can access other forms or the menu

1. Enter the start and end years to be archived.

2. Click OK

On a local system, both archive records and subdirectories to hold the archive files will be created. When user the server option, directories must be created manually.

Directories will have the format <system dir>\archives\<year> eg c:\idw\archives\2003

Note that this operation by itself does not actually perform any archiving but just sets up references for archiving to occur.
