This menu item is used to delete an entire batch of records from the currently selected Master table. It may be used if, for example, you inadvertently transferred a Working table’s records to the wrong Master table.
A list of Working tables referenced in the Tracking Support table as having been transferred to the currently selected Master table is presented, along with the Batch IDs and Descriptions. Select the Working table. WRDB will then delete all records in the Master table that have the matching Batch ID. The Tracking Support table must be manually edited to reflect the fact that the indicated Working table was not transferred to the Master table (this may be done automatically if, for example, you immediately transfer the same Working table to a different Master table).
If the Tracking Support table has become corrupted, it is possible that there will be some batches of records in a Master table that aren’t shown in the Tracking table, and therefore cannot be deleted by selecting the Working table name. You can still delete the batch by determining the desired Track ID and Deleting Selected Records. Just enter the Track ID in the indicated field and click on Execute.
The Master table must be open (its browser visible) to perform this function.
