Hi Kathy, Do you mean the field called User ID? I'm also assuming you're using Legacy v8.0.0.367, which is the latest build as I type this reply.
I've never used this particular field, so opened up my file, opened the Individual's Information window for a person, clicked in the User ID field to get the cursor there, and then pressed F1 to bring up the Help on that topic. The Help pointed me to the Customise window, where option 12.4 deals with the User ID field. If you go to that, you'll see there's a button to "Clear all User IDs...". Have you tried using that? Make a backup or copy of your data file first, before trying this, in case you're not pleased with the result and want to go back to before you started that exercise. Please let us know how you get on with it. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Kathy Thompson said the following on 12/01/2014 4:27 p.m.: > Is there any way to clear all File ID's with one (or two) clicks? > > A previously used program has filled these fields with gibberish and > they are a right royal pain and have no relevance whatsoever to my files. > > I'd like to be able to clear them and actually use those fields for > their intended purpose in a way that makes logical sense to a human being.
