Thank you

Tim can do it but not us mere mortals. Remember that ElevateDB, like DBISAM before it, reuses the space within a table (brilliant feature) so one of your deleted records could have been overwritten anyway.

If you want that sort of facility you'll have to build your own flag in and set it rather than delete. Packing (or optimizing in ElevateDB speak) would have to have two steps:

1. delete from table where flag = whatever
2. optimize table
