Re: How do I delete unattached? notes and pages in the Notes Gramplet? CORRECTED follow up email referring to the "To Do" Gramplet.

Hi Dave,

I don't have the knowledge to work in the database, at least not yet. I
think that is what you are advising. Or did I get that wrong?

But the info you provided is good to know. I am reading about the DB Model
to familiarize myself with the modules.

However I did try the "minus" button which does remove the To-Do Gramplet
but when I add it back, the unattached pages are still there. And "Delete"
is grayed out in the contact popup menu. I tried both prior to asking for
help.

It's not a problem but it is annoying right now. I'll eventually figure it
out. :-)

Any ideas why the "Delete" option is grayed out?
