I've said often that Campaigns needs sorting out.

Yes, maybe there should be an easy option to Add to Campaign, but I get
round this by making a filter in Leads and one in Contacts then
importing using the filter.

No Bulk anything. What about Bulk Select when you want to email 500
people, let alone delete them from the Campaign ??

The only way I get round it is to do it in the evening and change the
number displayed per page to say 100 in config.inc.php and then you only
need to select a few pages. Messy....... very messy. It has been
suggested elsewhere that it should be possible to change this value in
the CRM rather than hacking a config file.

I also wonder why the figures from Potentials/Quotes/SO/Inv cannot be
added to the Campaign. The numbers are there, the relationships are
there, so I don't think it's rocket science, though beyond my meagre skills.

Good luck with your deletions........
