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.

        Anonymous no worries but i'm concerned that issue is not resolved. I was telling you to selection another radio button next to "global permission" and run thru the steps which I mentioned and see if it works. Did you tried it? If not, can you give it a try?
