The entries are “03/04/05” for the former and “06/07/08” for the latter. There are about 75 of these entries, so I’d like to solve the problem via a mass change not individual edits. However, when I try this I get no matches when I enter one of these strings in a filter. I’ve done this kind of thing with other changes and had no problem, but this one has me stumped. I think it’s because the CQZ and ITUZ fields are incompatible with strings of this length and with the “/” character. Any suggestions about how I can accomplish deleting these entries and just making them blank would be appreciated. Tnxs & 73, Carl

So first of all, open the USERFIELDS log form (Forms/Log). This is a diagnostic log screen to help you deal with issues such as this. You will see something like CQZ:03/04/05\| in the userfields field. You can't use the REPLACE USER-DEFINED FIELD CONTENTS of tools/advanced/database commands because CQZ and ITUZ are both numeric, and it won't accept 03/04/05 as the old value. But it is still easy to do. MAKE A BACKUP! Go to tools/advanced/database commands. Type USE LOG REPLACE ALL USERFIELDS WITH STRTRAN(USERFIELDS, "CQZ:03/04/05\|", "") REPLACE ALL USERFIELDS WITH STRTRAN(USERFIELDS, "ITUZ:06/07/08\|", "") Tnx/73, WN4AZY
