RE: Delete a Record from a Subfile

You can't delete a record from a subfile.  There are a couple
possibilities...

1.  Reload the subfile
2.  Load the data into an array.  When the record is deleted, update the
corresponding "delete code" in the array and reload the subfile from the
array.
3.  Make the field Nondisplay when deleted.  The record will show up,
but it will be blank and not have any selection fields.
