Re: prob in deleting records using a subfile from a pf.

Create an option field for the user to enter into.  Say '4'.  Then use the
READC or design a loop that will  CHAIN to each subfile record to retrieve
value.  Then for each record that has a '4', pop up a window to ask the
user if their sure they want to delete this record.  Press F11 to delete.
etc...

READP READ cannot be used on Subfiles. Don't have the exact answer why but
you can probably find it with some research.
