AboutJamey Key Expertise NEW and INTERMEDIATE USERS. WHAT CAN FILEMAKER PRO DO FOR ME? I have been using FileMaker products for over 10 years and have basic knowledge in all areas of FileMaker database set up and use. I`m not prepared to answer questions about complex situations or calculations but can help beginners and intermediate users set up and use FileMaker databases.
Experience Have been using FileMaker since 1989 in our business. We have 10 users on the network who use these databases every day. Our largest databases have had over 30,000 records at one time. In 1995 one of my files was chosen as "Most Unique Database" in a contest sponsored by Claris, maker of FileMaker. Recently I have developed a set of files for new computer system installed at our church.

Question I am using Filemaker Pro8. I don't know how but a record got added to the end of one of our files and I cannot delete it. I go through the delete process and it is says it is deleted but when I bring up my ad list the record is still there. I can't do anything with this record - I can't enter any information in it. Any ideas on how I can get it deleted.
Thanks
Answer Nancy;
Im sorry it took so long to get back to you. You could have a corrupt file or a corrupt record. What I want you to do is to try to delete the record again and then give me the exact error message. Email it to me at jameykey@jkat.com and I will get right back to you and help you solve the problem.
