Hi Brian, Yes it's difficult. You have to remove the Event from everyone.
I don't know whether it is something that can be done in LTools. The combine with blank no longer works and should have been removed from the Help. But it was done the same as combining any other two items in any Master List using the button at the bottom. Cheers, Cathy Brian L. Lightfoot wrote: > > Anyone actually tried doing this?
