Notes Query

Post by bgriffiths » 21 Jun 2007 00:26

Hi all
I have merged a number of gedcoms into my main file. I have usually ticked the box to include the 'Record originated in...' note to the imported records.

Naturally (!) I now want to delete all these notes (as they are causing problems with report generators which are listing hundreds of notes whose only content is 'Record originated in...')

However I cannot construct a query to find these notes. Can anyone give me a clue as to where these notes are and if they can be queried?

Many thanks
Brian

You can query to get rid of these.

The 'record originated ... ' is
INDI.SOUR[1].NOTE2[1]

Just make a query showing the expresion, I would select records only where the value starts with 'Record O' and then select the column in the query and hit delete.

Excellent[smile]
Many thanks for the reply. Even managed to amend the query to remove the note from the Notes as well.
