Re: Deleting data and exchanging
I know this topic has been covered in different ways, but I am wondering how this works in the new update please?
Scenario: I exchange records with our local ERC and if I then delete a record in my database and then export to them again they will still have that old record in their database. How can they then know which record needs to be deleted?
If Recorder stored the deleted records' key in a deleted data table, that info could be exported at the same time and when the other person imports the data it could query the deleted data table and subsequently delete it from theirs too. Does this happen in the new updated version already? Is it something that could be set up if not?
Or as highlighted by Charles a while back should we not delete things and merely change them to invalid.
How can I also get round the problem of data deleted from another system like MapMate and then me importing that data and not knowing which records have been deleted from that system and are left in my Recorder 6?
Any updates on new functionility and advice welcomed please.
