Hello

Anonymous in my instructions i mentioned right click on the connection, did you tried that. here it is again

 

- Click global permission

- right click on connection you want to remove

- click edit permission

- on popup dialog, click delete,

- click ok, you will get warning message. click ok

    Hi Parry,

     

    Yes, I did and I screenshot the view when I choose the global permission. All folders are gone and replaced with this link  'http://www.imdb.com/chart/top"

     

    So I could not delete them.

     

    Thanks

        Hello Parry,

         

        Not so sure. I think I will just put them in there instead rather than deleting.

         

        Thanks for all your help I appreciate it much. Hope you don't bother much on all my queries.
