How to remove old objects - from an old developer

ajhvdb

Customer has objects (tables with data) that need to be removed. Data is now deleted but how to delete the AddOn objects. It is in an AddOn range from a partner with wich my customer doesn't have a relation anymore :shock: and the partner doesn't seem to be helpfull in this situation

I get the "don't have view/edit/delete rights" message in the object designer.

It there a hack for this? I dont want to look into the code, I want it removed.

This might work:

1. Export all objects, except the ones you don't want anymore, to fob
2. Backup database, but without the objects
3. Create new database and import the fob
4. Restore your database

You can also try this, but I am not sure it works : http://www.mibuso.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11560

Noop, the killer delete object only works if it's a fob. And you can't create this fob because you don't have permissions for this. Als, you can't export a killer object to text. Will try the backup option.

Smart thinking, that might actually work very well. Wouldn't you have to first remove all relationships to those objects first though?
