Hi Folks:
I'm trying to clean up one of my databases that was imported into FH7.

During the import about 10,000 + "Type: Note Record" were created. I looked at about 100 of them and they all are repeated elsewhere.

Here is what I'm talking about:


I would like to wipe all the notes that are Note Records as shone in the pic. (I do not want to wipe any of the Type: Local notes. I'm wondering if there is a way to do that with the search and replace plugin or maybe something else?

Thank you for any help
Matthew

If you are sure you want to delete them all you can do that from the Records Window. Select the Notes tab and this will list all of the Note Records. To delete them all, select the first one, use the scroll bar to go to the bottom, and then hold down the shift key and select the last one. When they are all selected, use the Delete key to delete them.

You might want to create a backup of your project first, just in case.

Hi Bill
I guess when I asked I mistakenly thought that there were different note 'types'. I just wanted to delete the source notes. After looking at the tab you mentioned I can see there are a lot of other notes on other items. It works out though because the ones I want to delete are sorted and and I can select large numbers of them and add to a named list to delete them.

This will work for me, thanks
Matthew
