Select
Find from the Mode menu. Click
in Prescription Dispensed Date, type the “<“ sign and today’s
date but two years less (i.e. fro 8/22/97 you would enter “<8/22/95”)
and press enter.
Review the found
set of appointments, if any. To omit records
from the set select Omit from the Select menu. Finally to delete the entire found set select
Delete All from the Mode menu. Warning: This is a permanent action and cannot be undone!
