  3. When the system notifies you that the record will be permanently deleted after a Save action, click OK.
  4. To delete the records permanently from the database, save the collection.

To delete a group of records:

  1. Click the row label for the first record in the group you want to delete.
  2. Hold down SHIFT and click the row label of the last record you want to delete.
  3. From the Actions menu, select Delete.
  4. When the system notifies you that the records will be permanently deleted after a save action, click OK.
  5. To delete the records permanently from the database, save the collection.
NOTE: The system does not actually delete a record from the database until you save your changes. If you make a mistake or change your mind about deleting records, you can unmark those records. For more information, see these topics:
