Can't delete a record

[Matt Klein]

I am having a problem deleting a record. It was obviously corrupted somehow, as strange things were happening. I exported the record and then imported it back in and all seems well with it. I then tried to delete the corrupted record. It won't permanently delete. It disappears from the found set, but doesn't disappear from the Record Count. If I do a search on field for a value that I know that record had in the field, that record comes up. However, all the fields are completely blank even though it comes up in a found set.

Any suggestions?

What if you export all the records as text, then import them into a clone of one of your backups which was made before any corruption appeared. This should remove any corrupt records.

Yup. That is an option and I may exercise that one. It's an app that is hard to get the users to allow me to shut it down. I will if it's necessary.

Any other thoughts?
