Searching for and replacing data entries

In order to be able to correct database entries, WinCan provides a search/replace functionality. First select the field(s) (1) containing the entries to be replaced and enter the original text (2) as well as the new text (3) into the corresponding columns. You may also imply more than one field per searching/replacing process using the PLUS button. Finally hit the REPLACE button to run the command:

Open

If the check box Replace always is enabled, WinCan VX is going to overwrite the old text with the new text for all records. It therefore recommended to keep this option disabled per default.
In case you want to replace certain field contents only within a specific group of sections, you may filter these records previously. The Search/Replace functionality thus is able to take into acount the filtered sections only.
