Hi,
I am having a problem with deleting records. Tables in a database are opened in the DE and accessed on multiple pages of a pageframe. I SET DELETED ON in the startup program and the record is still visible. I tried putting this in other places to no avail. So obviously I don't understand what is going on. It seems to work until the program is closed and reopened. Then the record is there again. Browsing in the command window does not show it marked for deletion. Will someone please explain what I need to do to make this record not show up. I realize that I must pack to actually remove it but 'in olden days' I could SET DELETED ON and the record was not visible and reading other posts here state the same thing. So does it have something to do with the Data Environment and I am just missing the boat?
Thanks for any help.
