deleting multiple records

[meagan]

Someone please help me. In the first week of my job somehow
8000 records were created and in the vendor name area the
description reads void. I called support and said the only way
that could have happened is if I did it individually to each record.
I think I would remember that. What one of my coworkers thinks
is that something got caught on the keyboard and created these
8000 payment records with no other information in them except
a check number the word void where the name of the vendor
would go and a 0.00 amount. I have been deleting 1 record at a time but it is killing me. Does anyone out there no of a way to
delete multiple records at once. I know there has got to be some
way or maybe I'm in denial. Please help. meagan@grandstrandcpas.com

Here is my suggestion taken right from Peachtree Help.

Go to the Help menu and type "Purge".

This will explain to you how to backup and purge inactive records.


Hope that helps.

Thanks for the suggestion but that only allows you to delete
transactiion from a previous year and old purchase orders.
It does not say anything about current records. I don't see anything about deleting checks either.

Anybody else have any ideas.

You could open up a new company and export the good data from the old to the new company. Have someone walk you through.

Peachtree support was correct in telling you that you can only delete one transaction/check at a time.

The other suggestion to create a new company and import transactions that you want is a good one, too. If you don't have problems importing, this could save you a lot of time.

The other suggestion I have is to restore a backup before the 8000 checks got put in accidentally.
