I have just added a batch of contacts to a new group - all good so far, but ... how do I delete them from the group they were in?!

thanks

thanks Mike - I should have said that I am using ACT v.6.

The difficulty I am having is that I only moved a few (265) of the contacts from the original group to the newly-created group. So although I can create a look-up of that batch of contacts that I moved, I can't seem to delete just them from the original group that they were part of without deleting all the others in that original group.

hope that makes sense! - must be a way, and I've spend ages trying, just missing something simple I'm sure!!

No simple way in ACT! 6.0

Maybe try:

The only way in ACT! is to:
* create a new field
* Lookup the new group
* Use Edit | replace to put data into the new field
* Lookup the Old Group and then where the new field is empty
* create a new Group with the result
* delete the old group

stunning! - last thing - how do I then delete the data in the new field so it is clean when I next need to use it?
