Cher,
No,, archiving removes the records and places them into the "Archive" folder.
Purging totally removes the records from the database.
Either one removes the records from the working database.
When I am going to Archive records, I always make a full DVD of my entire database. Should I need the archived data, I can easily restore it from the DVD. I label and retain all the DVD's that were created prior to an Archive. I even burn a DVD of the database at year end so the year end data is available should I ever need it.
I hope that makes sense.
