Nightmare Delete

[Leather Knight]

Ok on my database I made 10 records. I added a button for deleting the current record only. If I delete record 10 then 9 and then 8, it deletes ALL the records! If I right click and delete doing the same process, the same thing happens. Any advice on how to make it only delete one at a time??

It sounds like you have Delete "Found Set", and not "Current Record" in you script.

Huh? Tell me what command or script your button runs.

[Lee Smith]

Are you Stalking me around.

or, are you a little slow on the draw today?

Oh how I wish it was that simple. No script, just a simple delete record request as well as while in the record to be deleted, right click delete record, when performed 3 times, all records are then deleted...

[Leather Knight]

Not scripted, but I will try a script to do it and see.

Here is the database so you can see.

What do you figure these things do?

[Lee Smith]

I think what we have here is a failure to communicate.

There is only a couple of ways to delete either the current record, or a group of records.

In the Menu (Main Menu >> Records >>, you have two choices. Delete Record, and the Delete All Records.

If you create a button, you can select from the Left side of the Button Setup Edit Menu, either [color:blue]Delete Record / Request , or [color:blue]Delete All Records. Or, you can [color:blue]Perform Script, and then choose a script that contains one of these Script Steps.

DUH....I feel like a newbie on that move. I should have caught it. That was the issue, thanks comment.
