    Old Products Refs in database

    Hi. I am using ACCESS to look at the table Products. I have copied into Excel the fields Price, Prodref, Description etc so that I can make a pricelist. I have created direct links to products using the PRODREF value - this seems to work very well.

    My problem is that the database seems to include old product references, therefore I get some products more than once - one with a valid current ref and one with an invalid old ref (if you create a direct product link using the invalid ref it says the product cant be found).

    How do I get rid of these old invalid prod refs ?

    Cheers

    Try going to 'Housekeeping | Compact Databases' and see if that works.

    Also, if the old products have been marked as deleted, then go to 'Housekeeping | Purge Catalog' to permenantly remove them.

      You could also check the field "Status" in the Products table. This contains "D" for deleted products and "N" for valid ones.
