Remove Master Records Occasionally, duplicate or unwanted master records may show up in a master file due to hardware problems or software problems. This utility provides for the ability to remove these records. Because it does little checking, other than that the record to be deleted exists as a formatted master record, any deletions should be planned in advance. If a duplicate has been detected while running an index rebuild, then the duplicate record number has been recorded in the Error Log. It would be wise to PASSWORD this routine OUT to most users. Note - that to access this utility for security setup, you must be at the Main Menu window. Operation Removal is basd on the record #. Listing or entering the 'key' will lookup the record number of the one that you would access from the master screen. If you are removing dups, that usually is NOT the record # you should remove. The duplicate will have a different number. If you directly enter the Record# and or Verify, then the Key and description for that number you entered is displayed. You may remove as many masters as needed. Upon exiting, a count of how many were removed will be given, and then the index will be rebuilt for this master. NOTE - once a master is successfully removed, there is no UNDO. If you inadvertently remove a master such as a customer or vendor, you may add it back using the same account number, then Rebuild that transaction file to get its activity back. The Key and rec# of all masters removed are recorded in the Maintenance log.
