Hi

 

I have over 14,000 tasks in my research log and would like to delete them all, does sks know of a way to do this "on mass" or would I have to do it individually.

 

Many thanks for taking the time to read this.

 

Regards

Backup your peoject.

 

You need to do the following...

 

1) Create a new project.

 

Copy the _L.dbf and _L.fpt files from the new project.

 

For example... The files might be New_L.dbf and New_L.fpt.

 

Rename the copies to match the names of the same files located in your project.

 

For example... Rename them to Half_Pint_L.dbf and Half_Pint_L.fpt.

 

2) Copy the two files into your project folder replacing the existing two files. The overwrite prompts when you copy should confirm that you have renamed the files correctly and that you are copying them into the correct folder.

 

3) Delete all .CDX files for your project from your project folder. This will force your project to be reindexed the next time that you open it.

 

When you open your project, all tasks should now be gone since the L-data table (which holds the tasks) will be empty.

I knew someone would know of a way. Thank you Jim you have saved me many hours of monotonous keying, thank you.
