Yes, I know that, but it's too much trouble to reinstall for just one client. That's why I'm interested in TAXMAN's remembrance of a way without killing off the program.
While Will R. might see danger and huge problems in deleting them; I don't. To me, a paper copy is functional for investigation and checking as long as I can read English. If change is needed, I'll do a 1040X from scratch. Too, I'll keep the last three years' clients until refund times expire.
Thank you for the friendly advice, but I don't want want to abandon the old days. While I have no doubt your office is fully equipped with 6TBs of warp drive and a memory bank which won't expire until the twelfth of never, I much prefer software that suits me instead of some damned machine.
