Thanks for that Jane. However, when I run the query and then try to delete the 1400 odd instances that it produces I get the warning " When a field is deleted, if it has any 'child' fields these will also be deleted." I apologise if I am being particularly obtuse, but I have no idea what this means. What exactly will I delete if I go ahead? George

Hi George, Child fields hang off the field you're looking at. So, for example, if you had a local Note attached to the Death Event, or a Source, they would also be deleted, as there would then be no 'parent' field for them to hang off.
