Master Index, Deleting Rows

Problem

I can use *Add Rows on the Master Index file but not *Delete Rows!

Diagnosis

MacNail construction accounting software does this by design. *Delete rows would disturb the series of code numbers in col A

Solution

If they really want to delete rows ("I have so many!"), best way is to delete rows at the end, not in the middle. If they absolutely MUST delete in the middle, suggest the following:
1. Show row/col headings
2. Shift click on the numbers of the rows they want to delete.
3. Choose Delete... from the Edit Menu to delete the rows
4. Use Data\Series... to set the code series right.

NOTE-- This answer applies to MacNail construction accounting software. It has since been replaced by our newer Goldenseal accounting program, which stores information in Accounts, and will not have problems like this.
