John,

Sometimes, when you know what invalid data the record contains, it is
possible to delete with SQL.  For instance, if a packed field contains
blanks you could use: "delete from yourfile where hex(packed_field) =
'404040'".  Through the same technique you could also put valid data in the
offending field.
