I thought there used to be a way to pack the database. I don't find it in RM4. Where did it go? -----Original Message----- From: David Sent: Saturday, June 30, 2012 11:56 AM To: rootsmagic-users@rootsweb.com Subject: [RMagic] RM Database problem I have posted the following customer service report (no answer yet); but wonder if anyone has run into this problem. If so, would you share your "work-around" with me off-post. Thanks, David in Mesa, Arizona "I have a number of persons, in a test database, that I want to delete. i.e. a global delete option. Each of these persons has a common thread . i.e. they have no first name and they have no last name (both parts are "blank"). They only have a RM person number. Is there a way that I can delete these "unknown" persons from my test database? Legacy has a global "delete" option; but I cannot find a RM program option that will allow me to globally delete unwanted persons from my database." Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated. =================================== RM list Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/ROOTSMAGIC-USERS/ http://archiver.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/search?path=ROOTSMAGIC-USERS WISH LIST: http://www.rootsmagic.com/forums/ BLOG: http://blog.rootsmagic.com/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ROOTSMAGIC-USERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
