I am creating a web database where users submit entries using an online form. When they submit the entry, I am saving the entry date and time in a column called Timestamp. What I need to figure out is if there is a way to create some sort of expiration date, based on the Timestamp, that will automatically delete a record after it is 7 days old. Is there a way to do this? Thanks so much for any help that you can give.
View RepliesI have built a db where users enter the requested information, can update, search etc. However, after about 90 days the infomration is really not any good anymore. I would like to be able ot have a way to auto delete info that it over the 90 days.
I have a column named (date) and it automatically creates the date and time via Now() function. It would be nice to have something that would delete via that columns date.
Any suggestions?
I know that I can query and delete multiple records via Access but I have worked hard to keep me out of the day to day db funtion.
Hey.
I have created a button which when clicked imports a table from Excel into Access. Every month the users want to click on this, they want to update the Access table with the updated info in the excel table. My problem is that the whole table is imported again and not just the new rows which have been added in excel. I was just wondering if there was a way to have a button which when clicked it clears all of the records out of my table in access, instead of manually deleting them. So that my users can just click this and then click the import button.
Thanks in advance for your help.
There is a way in order to auto delete a database after e.g. 7 days ...
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a database of personnel. People come and go all the time; however I can't have a personnel record deleted as soon as they leave. They remain on our books until a specified date for each individual. The date is different for each individual. I was hoping to have a field in their record with the date, and have a query or some code delete that record on the date in the field. Is this possible?

Here is my issue. In a table with an Auto Number index some records have been deleted. I have been able to recreate them along with their original auto number. The problem is that I do not know how to append these records forcing the original auto number. I have tried changing the auto number field to a number field in the table, this works except I cannot change it back to auto number.
I am sure I’m not the first with this question or issue. I did search through a couple hundred entries about auto number before I posted this question.

I have a query of records that are not related to records is the secondary table. I want to delete these records but when I select the records and click delete I get the confirmation to delete answer to delete them and all the records disappear. When I run the query again, all the records are still there. Does anyone know what is happening? This is an access front end that connects to a SQL server database.

SELECT DOCSADM_PROFILE.SYSTEM_ID, DOCSADM_PROFILE.AUTHOR, DOCSADM_SECURITY.THING, DOCSADM_SECURITY.PERSONORGROUP, DOCSADM_SECURITY.ACCESSRIGHTS
FROM DOCSADM_PROFILE INNER JOIN DOCSADM_SECURITY ON DOCSADM_PROFILE.SYSTEM_ID = DOCSADM_SECURITY.THING
WHERE (((DOCSADM_PROFILE.AUTHOR)=21941909) AND ((DOCSADM_SECURITY.PERSONORGROUP)=4038));

I have a survey form that has the questions on a subform based on the response to one of the survey demographic questions (via a query based on that response). The answers to the questions are on a sub-sub form. How can I get the program to delete the answers that were entered (they are related to the primary survey form with a common ID number) if the user changes the survey response.
In other words, if the user of SurveyID 5 decides that they want to fill out the list of blue questions rather than red questions, how can I delete all the answer blue records for SurveyID 5? Right now, it will display the red questions if you change to red and enter red answers, but the blue answers remain in the database, creating 2 sets of answers for SurveyID 5.
Any suggestions...if this is not too confusing?
Thanks!

View 7 Replies View RelatedGood evening,
I am experiencing a problem with the delete buttons I have added into my forms. I have 3 different forms that operators use, I added a delete button using the wizard on each form to delete the data if the user makes a mistake. I have allowed deletes in the form properties. My problem is that the button only works on one of the forms. I have checked the code and it is the same on all 3 forms.
The record is not deleted, all that happens is that the vertical bar down the LHS of the form flashes black, and thats about it
Private Sub Command52_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command52_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 6, , acMenuVer70
Exit_Command52_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command52_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command52_Click
End Sub
Any thoughts?
The only difference is that one button is called Command52 and the other one is called Delete

Help please!
I have a form (frmHalfTab) built on a table (tblHalfTab2) that has existing data in it. In the very near future, I will be uploading additional data to this table via excel cut and paste. What I want to do is search for and eliminate duplicate records that have duplicate data in TWO fields, (MemberNum) and (MBRDrug), so that if MemberNum is "10" and MBRDrug is "Zzz" for more than one record, the duplicated records need to be deleted, OR a check box needs to be checked automatically for all the identical records, the original and the duplicate(s). I wanted to put this behind a button, if possible.
Now, I have created a duplicate query that will find the duplicated records, but I'm not sure how to use it to get rid of the duplicated records or check the checkbox appropriately. Should I ditch this query and choose a different route, or am I on the right track? Thanks in advance for your help.:confused:
Hi,
I have a question.
How can I make undo delete records?
When the user select all the records, and then click "delete" key. Then it will delete all records.
I want to setup that there must be at least 1 record left.
If they select all the records and delete all, then it will undo delete all records. We have to keep at least 1 record.
What command to undo delete all records?
Please let me know, thanks.
