“Sample Analysis” and “Sample_Results” are the two tables you will need to open (double click)

Table: Sample_AnalysisFind the “ID_LABFRM” on the table “Sample_Analysis”that matches the “ID_LABFRM” associated with the labsheet (see next page for example of where to find this ID) you wish to modify data for. To remove an ANALYSIS – simply select the row on the table “Sample_Analysis” you wish to remove, and press the DELETE key on your keyboard.

Table: Sample_ResultsYou will have to delete ALL the pCODE associated with the analysis. That means delete every record (“row”) that has the ID_LABFRM and pCODE you wish to remove. The more samples there were in the batch, the more records you will need to delete.
