Taking records out of focus?

[Nancy Palmquist]

Stanley,

I might use a date instead of just a Y to indicate deleted.  It is more 
helpful and sorts/indexes better.

It is easy to exclude everything with a value in that field.  But what 
you are trying to do will require you take over all the browsing 
functions, think out your indexing - maybe.

You could also move them to a qualifier and then they could stand alone 
and still function if you need them.
