Topic: Batch update to delete records with certain reference numbers

I would like to have a batch update that deletes a set of records based on a list of values stored in the Surveyor's reference field. I would have a list of reference numbers stored in a csv file (single file, one field). Anybody done anything similar that they could share?

The attached Batch Update nearly does this. It is based on the Comment so just needs a change to the parameter <Condition field= "dbo.ufn_RtfToPlaintext(TOCC.Comment)"  operator="Like" type="Text"  name="Occurrence Comment"  />

This version is for R6 6.29 and would need a further slight change to work with 6.28

Brilliant Mike. That should be simple to adapt.

Thanks

OK, this is dead easy to tweak for doing one reference number at a time, but I need to bring in a CSV file to drive the initial 'Insert into...' command. Assume I need a CSVTables statement up front and then link in to the initial insert into statement?

I have something somewhere and will find it for you. Basically the temporary table needs to be populated.

Hi

I have adapted the Comments version to use a csv file with Surveyors Refs. Haven't run it so may needa a bit of a tweak.
