Hi Anne,

As the 'idiot' who said that he had to spend a little time to work out how
to unlock the program, I never saw any instructions as how to keep the box
on the screen for longer than a few seconds. As I said before, I managed to
copy the unlock code from Sonja's email and then time to paste it in to the
box. Nevertheless, I would have appreciated some instructions so perhaps
Phil or Sonja could tell me what I did wrong?!!

BTW, I managed to find out how to delete those 15,0321 records I imported
incorrectly. <vbg>

This is what you do..................

I went to Help and looked for "delete" and that told me how to accomplish
the task.

OK, I admit I jump into programs and then look at the help afterwards <vbg>

That will teach me!

Now all we need, Phil, is a faster import and delete feature - 15,000
records at 180 per minute is slowwwwwwwwwwwww!

Phil
