Many years ago I made some custom facts, is it possible please to find out which records I have used these on?

Yes, here is a custom query which I use. It prompts for the name of the fact. In the Results table the 'Value' column is only used with attributes. It is always blank for events.

The standard Query All Facts lists where every Fact is used and when sorted into Fact order tells all.

Yes, the custom query is based on that but I find it handier when I just want to inspect one particular fact type quickly. It saves a lot of scrolling!

Thank you Lorna and Mike, I used Lorna's Query and it worked beautifully, now I have lots of work to do sorting everything out, that'll teach me to do things the right way around the first time!!! :)
