Yes, it's me, and thanks to all. It is good to be back. I track the clients by name, ssn, client_id, box_no, box_destruct_date
When the destruction date has arrived for the box, I need to look at all the other boxes to see if any of the clients in the box have volume files in any other box. If not, I can destroy the file. If there is a later file, I need to remove the file from the box to be destroyed and put that file with the more recent file. I hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Downall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 4:40 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Record destruction > Is that you, Ron?
