Hey Jeff,

I understand what you did, but as an accountant that makes me spasm painfully as I see GAAP being violated horribly. If you ever lost those paper archives you'd be unable to reproduce invoices to your customers. Not an option for me :-(

change trans_id to shipto in first sentence of third paragraph.

Hi Craig, Jeff

I once entered the same shipto address twice on successive invoices with only a capitalization of one letter being the difference, the result was it showed up as two ship to addresses in the list thereafter and drove me nuts.

AFAIK there is no way to delete them from within SQL but I can tell you that they are stored in the table "shipto" with a key called "trans_id" that links them to their respective invoices.

I found that you can edit or delete lines from shipto and then the list will be wiped out but the secondary result will be that if you reprint past invoices the original "shipto" address will not be reprinted. Not a problem if you have paper archives like I do.

The ability to have control over my data is the primary reason I went with an open source product like SQL. I use pgAdmin for tasks like this, it's easy to do, just don't screw with any of the tables that involve the actual financial data and your books will stay in tact.

Hello Everyone!

I'm probably missing something here but, how can I delete a shipping address
for a customer?

When I go to the customer screen and click "shipping address" I see a form
to add a new address and I see the existing address (the one I want to
delete) listed below with a check box.  How can I delete that address.

Ver 2.8.36

Thanks!
