Can't Delete documents, they have noteid or document unique id

While trying to document all the fields in one our our dB’s, I found that I had 5 documents that if you look at them in the debugger, they have no items values, no noteId and no document id. When I tried to delete them, i got a message saying I was not authorized, however I am the manager of the dB. I even tried to create a field on the form using

call doc.replaceItemValue( “Form”, “deleteme”)

call doc.save( true, true)

and while the code does not give an error, the value of form does not change. part of the reason for doing this is that I cannot even get the documents into a view ( I guess not having an unid is stopping this).

So does anybody have a way to delete these documents other than createing a new db and then copying the documents over?

Thanks,

John

Well we found the problem, I talk to my admin guy to do the updapp, but what he found was…

had a corrupt Readers field named … Readers. I went into Full Access Administration mode, found them, and deleted the readers field

So I think the issue is fixed now. John

Have you tried running a UPDALL -r on the DB to see if this is just a view issue?

No I haven’t. I have access to the server admin fuctions, but have not yet tried that command.

I don’t know how the documents got in there in the first place. Let me try what you said and see where I get.

thanks
