Delete a part from database

How can I delete one part from the database?
Parents
  • According to help this is how its done and I can't see the individual parts. WTF
    They appear in Datapage and print fine??

    The beatings continue

    1) Open DPEditor.
    2) Click on VIEW
    3) Click on PARTS

    You get a pop-up, "PART RECORDS"
    There is a drop-down for PART NAME. Use it to find the part you want to DELETE from the database, click on DELETE at the bottom-right of the pop-up.

    That is how you delete PARTS from the database.

    This is where the "term" proble is. Did you want to DELETE a PART from teh database (the entire thing) OR did you want to delete a TRANSACTION from the database? This would be a single (NOT PART) set of data that represents a single (or multiple) set of data from a check made by Pcdmis?

    To delete a TRANSACTION:
    1) Open DPEditor
    2) Click on VIEW
    3) Click on DATA VALUES and DATA VALUES (you'll see!)
    4) Select the PART from teh drop-down list
    5) Click on SELECT ALL for BOTH the VARIABLES and TRANSACTIONS
    6) Click on OK

    You will then get a "excel" looking kind of pop up. The transactions are listed on the left, the variables across the top. Find teh TRANSACTION you wish to delete (or more than one transaction). They are stored by DATE/TIME. Once you have clicked on the TRANSACTION, click on EDIT ~ DELETE ~ SELECTED TRANSACTIONS.

    Then, a pop-up will come up and ask "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DELETE...." tell it YES TO ALL or you will ahve to tell it YES for each and every variable in the PART file.

    WORD OF WARNING! Either COPY the entire database FIRST or do an ASCII DUMP of the PART first just in case you screw up which one you delete.
