ChessBase Light Question

Is there a way to truly delete an entry from a database in CBL? When I try
all, that happens is that the entry is grayed out (but still visible and
present). I am setting up a new data base with numerous entry, and when I
save an entry and later realize it contains a mistake the only option I have
is to resume the data base with one previously save (before the mistaken one
was entered).

IIRC: in the databases window, you should highlight the database in
question with the "red flame" button.

Then, in the "Technical" menu, select "Physical Deletions" and
left-click.

HTH, but apologies if not.

It's been years since I used CBL and those instructions are from
memory, which may be faulty...

Thanks for the reply, but I don't see the "red flame" button.

Okay, I've found the red flame button and followed the earlier instructions,
but still I am unable to permanently delete individual entries within a
database (I am not wanting to delete the whole database). Is anyone else
able to do this. Is it possible to do, and am I just not getting it?

Thanks

Maybe it's like this (in Fritz it is): after deleting choose "tools-
database-remove deleted games"?

Nope. There is no "Tools" option, and under the database tab, the only
delete option is for deleting the whole database.

Highlight the game you want trashed. Hit your delete key on your key board.
(Game is greyed out with a line through it.) Close your active window, with the
database and game concerned. Click on Technical at the top, click on Physical
deletions. This should bring up a text window telling you that the game selected
is being deleted permanently. You can close that, and when you re-open the
databse, that game should be gone.

HTH


No problem is so formidable that you can't just walk away from it.

Okay, that worked.

Thank you very much
