Delete a database search mask

Use the procedure in this topic to delete a search mask.

Once you no longer need a search mask, remove it from the Database Locator. Doing so prevents data from an irrelevant search mask from being return.

Procedure

  1. Open the locator properties.
  2. Select the Search Masks tab.
  3. In the list of search masks, select the search mask to delete.
  4. Select Delete.

    The search mask is removed from the list.

    You cannot delete the last search mask. The Database Locator requires at least one search mask to return results.

  5. Open a test document and select Test to test your settings.
  6. Optional. Select Close to close the locator properties window.
  7. Save the changes to your project.
