Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Dear Previt Gallet

I am fairly certain that Global Change may not be used to delete relationships.

There are some other options:

1. To delete all relationships. Delete the ????REL.P3 file. Create a blank project and find the new ????REL.P3 file. Rename it with the same name as your original project and put it in the same directory as your original project. This will provide your original project with a file without any relationships.
2. Use Batch. Batch the file out, find the relationships in the text file and Batch the file back in. You will need to read up on the manual to use Batch, a little tricky if you have done any programming. This is also useful for fixing up corrupt files.
3. Export the relationships out to a *.WK1 or *.DBF, delete the required relationships and Import. I am not too sure if this deletes relationships, if it does not the use step 1 and then import the relationship file after deleting the ones not required.
