Hey Tabby,

  I'm sending this to the babase list because I'm honestly not sure if 
it can just be deleted.  I'm assuming it can.   Karl, is there a 
validation rule that is creating this error? Make sense that there would 
be.  If I can get the all clear from the powers that be (Susan, Karl, 
Jeanne if you are following this) I will go ahead and just delete these 
since I know there is no data other than that she was out of sight.

Lacey

Thanks for the lookup, Lacey.
Are you allowed to delete the sample?  I can't update the statdate to 
her true deathdate because the validation rules are telling me that she 
can't be recorded as dead the same day she has a row in SAMPLES....?  
Probably a new (and rare) problem with the validation rules.
