Dave, Have you tried using the Archive function to just “Delete from Source”? It sets up just like an escalation with a timing cycle to run it and a Qualification to select which data to delete.

(Server is running ARS 7.5) Trying to keep an "archive" of emails - we have a requirement to keep 6 months worth in the system (audit trail, proof of sending, etc.), and the form was actually turning out to be the largest on the system (over 7 million records - I manually deleted the older ones via the user tool, that is not fun!). In an active link, just trying a simple $PROCESS$ @@:Application-Query-Delete-Entry "AR System Email Messages" '3' < ($TIMESTAMP$ - (86400 * 75)) The 75 is related to a test system and the data that is on it (would obviously be changed on live). The query itself is fine against the email messages form, it just comes up with a qualification error when run via the active link. Any suggestions? I could try an alternative using Application-Delete-Entry <form> <record ID> and table walking, but that'll be horrendously inefficient in comparison to Application-Query-Delete-Entry.
