I have a client that just advised me that they have reached that maximum number of entries.

Hi 1106113077,
Making sure that you are able to enter and access your information quickly and accurately is something we pride ourselves on in QuickBooks Desktop. While having an entry limit can stop you from entering everything you need there is a reason for it. I'd like to go over more about those limits with you.
The limits that are placed into your QuickBooks Desktop company file to prevent the program to slow when you are using it and to also help prevent data damage. Depending on which version you are using Pro and Premier or Enterprise, there are different entry limits as the programs are used for different types of businesses and to track different kinds of information. Once you reach these limits there are two things you can do.
First you could create a new company file from an existing company, this will allow you to move over Vendor lists, Customer lists and your Chart of Accounts. This can be done by following these steps. File>New Company From Existing Company File. Then just enter the name of the new file.
Second you could upgrade to a higher version of QuickBooks but this should only be done if you decide it would be beneficial to your company as some versions like QuickBooks Enterprise can start getting higher in price. To see the feature difference and price you can follow this link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/ca/enterprise/
This should get you on your way!
You may have 3 options:
1. Create a new company file and migrate some data from the old one if required
2. Upgrade to QB Dekstop Enterprise
3. Purchase a 3rd party service to reduce list items in your Quickbooks data file without the loss of any historical transactions.
