• Added "Restore Database" option to Database Open dialog

•  Implemented new multi-person delete. (This works in conjunction with the Build Group type. To utilise one first needs to create and populate a Build group by adding people on the Group > Maintain page. Once the multiple people to be deleted have been identified in this manner, click the Group > Delete > "All Members of Group" menu item. This action cannot be undone and any recovery will require restoration of the database. A pre-requisite of this function is that a backup must have been performed on the day of use.)
