I'm using NTKDBU 2.5 for handling DBF tables and I must admit it is a very intuitive and effective tool. But, can't find a simple way to mark for deletion all records or a group of records in one shot. Until now, the only way i found to do that is to select records one by one then click the 'Delete/Recall' button... Do we have something similiar to the DELETE ALL FOR <condition> command? TIA Walter
>Do we have something similiar to the DELETE ALL FOR <condition> command? No, there's no button for a so-called "Delete All" command. Fortunately, it is very easy to do this with the GUI. Just proceed like this or see attached screenshots:
assuming the DBF table is already open... 1. Put the cursor on the first record; 2. Click the nub button (on the left-sifde of the 1st col/field) in order to hilight the whole record; 3. Put the cursor on any field, then click right and select the 'Invert Selection' option that appears within the context menu; 4. Now, all records are selected except the first one - so click again on its nub button to include it within the selection; 5. Click the 'DELETE' button at the bottom screen. That's it!
Now, all the DBF's records are marked for deletion. Tip: just click the 'RECALL' button to undelete them all (as long as the selection is active)
Et voila simple as that!
HTH. Your NTK Team.
N.B. For deleting a group of records (Delete all for <mycondition>) - just apply a FILTER with a valid condition prior to proceed the same way as shown in the above.
Sorry didn't see your reply earlier. Many thanks for the tips - exactly what i was looking for. You have a great product. Please continue your great work with it. :-) Walter
