Import Gone Awry and Can't Delete

Hi all,

One of my staff attempted an import that went horribly awry ... the records went to the wrong fields, and I need to delete them.

However, as of this moment, I can't delete any records in the database -- not by F3, not by Mass Delete ... what can I do to fix this?

Thanks,
Blair

What happens when you try to delete records? Do you have a NotifyForm flag set that prevents delete?

Hi Blair,

Retrieve the records you wish to delete
Run a Mass Update on the first record that has just
Code
Select All
NotifyForm(0) 


Choose Mass Delete on the Menu tree.

I ended up restoring a pre-import backup in the wee small hours and that seems to do it. 

It may have been a NotifyForm issue, as there was also an upgrade to our database yesterday ... I'm going through the code that was added today.

Thanks for the suggestions!
