When searching on the owner value in Max, ive come across a deleted owner,
ne idea wot this is

and ive gone n messed me smiley face up!!!
LOL!!!

Hi Dasha

An owner within Maximzier is the person who created the entry. If you have come across a deleted owner, I'm assuming someone who is no longer with the company, then they have not been removed from the list of users. To do this go file/ preferences and as long as you are logged in as master you can remove them from the list.

I think i may have not explained myself clearly.
If you go to the search menu / other / owner
you will come across a owner called 'Deleted', Who & What is he/she???
I have noticed that it only seems to appear with databases with Max Exchange being used.

Deleted is definitely not a user of Max!!!

Good One Dasha,

I've seen this too and wondered.... I thought it must be a group that records were transfered into when you deleted the owner (as described above by Polly) but I've tested it its not that simple.

If I work it out I'll add a post!

Sussed it

If you decided to delete a user group all the records assigned to this group are moved to this'deleted' owner so they can obviously be located at a later stage.

Records assigned to a 'user' name i.e a private entry DO NOT get assigned to 'deleted' it will only work for deleted 'user groups'

Figures...!
I didn't get as far as trying that.
Well Done
Ian
