Hi,

You cannot delete a record form a random access file. you can blank it of course (so it's still a record but filled with blanks).

The options you have are limited which is why you should look at using and ODBC text driver instead. With a random access file you will have to write all of your records out to another file, skipping the blank ones in order to truly "delete" the records.
