When I was first trying the program, I accidently created a person without a name.  I put in their adderss and phone number, but no name.   The person didn't appear on the customer list - so I just recreated them correctly.  (It took away one of my people count for my demo - but it wasn't a problem as I bought the program before I ran out.)

The annoyance is that on some things, this ghost person shows up - but I can't find any way to access this person to delete them as they are NOT on the customer list.   I can't remember the various places they have shown up (I think in some of the reports...) - but as I've just started using the Delivery List (which is more handy than I'd have thought!) - that is one place they show up.  (Of course, I just remove them from the list before I print it - but it is annoying.)

Any suggestions on getting rid of them for good?

btw - still love the program!

Was this Customer ever used (for example has an Order).  If not then send me the Customer.tps file as an email attachement and I'll try and fix it and send it back to you with the customer with no name deleted.

IMPORTANT - Just don't add any new customers while you are waiting for me to send back the fixed file.

Cheers,
Stan

Hi Stan - no the person never had an order - and I've added lots of people since then.... however, I actually managed to fix it by accident just now...

On the customer selection screen, I clicked on the "Territory" to sort by territory, to see who I had that I hadn't selected a territory yet - and the person showed up on the list at that point - so I deleted them with no problems.

Thanks for being willing to fix the file directly!

Thank you!  I have had the same problem, and now I have fixed it in the same way you described.

Thank you!

If the Customer is added with no names then they won't show up int the list (index/ordered by name) but will show if Sort of Territory (assuming one is assigned). You guys have found good trick for a work around!  I will add more validation to MBA that does not allow a Customer with both First & Last names to be blank to be saved (Warning message box).

Cheers,
Stan
