Hi Neville. I have seen this question pop up before and I ask purely out of interest.
When one does a year end and creates a backup of the previous year I realise that it is seen as a "new company".
How then does one effectively delete previous years databases so that Xpress Startup only "sees" the one company that one is working on ... or does it mean that one can only use Xpress Startup for 2 years?

The latest version of Xpress Startup does not give the option of creating a copy company when processing the year-end.
A work-around that I advise to Startup users is as follows:
Create a number of folders under the Xpress folder, and name them according to financial year.
Just prior to running the year-end, make a backup of the company and save it into the relevant year-end folder.
Run the year-end without creating a copy company and do future backups of the company into the new financial year folder.
This means that you will always have the same company folder name for every financial year, but there will be backups of the company, for each financial year, in their respective folders. If you ever need to access a prior year version of the company, first make a current backup of the company into the current year-end folder, then restore the backup from the prior year folder. Once you have completed your enquiry in the prior year company, restore the current year's backup.

Hi Neville, thank you for that, but now going forward, how do i go about, i have run the year end as stated and created a new company, do i now go back to previous year and just redo from the 1st of April and save it into new company or do i do another year end and dont copy as you suggested above?
