K Kerry Moorman Aug 17, 2008 #2 bthumber, I don't know of a database that supports such a feature. You would need to implement that yourself and only allow the user to indirectly view the data in the table via a stored procedure that would not display the "deleted" rows. Kerry Moorman

A ACook Aug 17, 2008 #3 You could create a 'deleted' column with a datatype of bit and filter on that when you select.
