Hi Denis,

You can use Replace Contents with "" for 'POSS DXCC'$COMMENTS (or
however you have it set up).

However, this will delete the ENTIRE Comments field content.  For
instance, you might also have text in the Comments field other than
"POSS DXCC" that you do not want to get rid of.  I'm not sure of a way
to use Database Commands to selectively delete only that portion of
the Comments field containing "POSS DXCC" and leaving the rest of the
text (if any) intact.  There probably is a dBase command to do it.
Ask Dennis.  (If you do find out the command, I'd sure like to learn
it.)

Alternatively, you can export your file as ADIF and then just search
and replace with a text editor.  And then re-import your log back
again.
