Lee Smith Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 You need to make a "Found Set" of the qualifying Records First. To find a record that has no data in "ONE" field, you Perform a Find using the "=" equal sign (no quotes). To do this manually. Enter "Find" mode. Type an = in your selected field (Field 1) Hit the "Find" button. This will find all records that do NOT have data in the one field you choose. To be sure that the records you want to delete are blank, do a "And" find. This is done by entering the = sign in more than one field in one Find Request. Enter "Find" mode go to Your First Field, enter = go to Your Next Field, enter = go to Your Next Field, enter = and so on until you feel that you have covered your bases Hit the Find Button. This will find all records that do NOT have data in all of the field you choose. HTH Lee
Lee Smith Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I should have added that you then go into the Menu >> Records >> Delete Found Records. It changes when you have a found set from Delete All Records.
