I'm using a dBase III database as a basis for a banking program.  I entered
in some eronious data in one of the fields, and now I need to delete that
data.  I've deleted the entire field, and recreated it, but to no avail
(data still there).  I'm using DBU (and Access 97 to see if the changes
took).  If there is a way to do it through Access 97 , I'm open, but I've
had no luck until now.

Thanks!!!
Blake

SPAMMERS  You've been
warned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Access97 uses the Jet 3.5 engine and will not remove deleted records
from your dbf file .. it will "mark" them for deletion just as dbase
does.. if you wish to remove the marked deleted records with access
then you'll have to manually do it with a do while not eof loop and
copy records out that are not deleted to another temp database then go
through the process of deleting/renaming or renaming/deleting (which
ever you prefer)

However in dbase.. the records are only marked as well .. and issuing
a PACK command will remove them.
you can keep your deleted records in the database, and simple
use the set deleted  command to toggle wether you want to view them or
not.
