Default Clearing data past its sell by date!


Hi

Im trying to get rid of data in a simple database that is past its
expiry date without losing all the existing data.

Specifically i want to be able to remove rows which are older than
today.

Any ideas?

Presumably you have a date column. You could apply a filter to this -
Custom, Less than then enter today's date. This will display the old
records. Highlight the visible rows and Edit | Delete Rows, then choose
All from the filter pull-down.

Hope this helps.

Pete
