Recovering deleted records

Hello,

Can someone provide me with an example of recovering deleted records?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,

IMHO recall deleted records is a bad practise because that prevent against forensic analisys in data tables.

I'm actually going to be enacting that shortly. Use the Advantage Data Architect, you see ALL records displayed, and deleted ones are in Red. You can highlight the ones you want to have come back and click the recall option.

I actually have customers who have employees delete records "accidently" and need them back. I provide a file editor and intend to add this capability in the near future so they can quickly get them back. It is a real world problem.

All of my reports are created from active records so it will not be a problem if they restore a mistakenly deleted record.
