I too am having problems with deleting a record from a RAF. My teacher told me the way to do it was to create a new file, copy all the records from the old file into this new file EXCEPT the 'deleted' ones, and then rename the new file as the old file. As of yet, I have not succeeded in achieving this. Does anyone have any code examples handy on how to go about doing this?
