if I had tblOrders OrderNo, CustomerNo, Date, OrderTotal
tblCustomers CustomerNo, Name, Street, Country, Postcode
and I was asked to delete orders placed by customer Smith, would I be correct if I put this:
DELETE tblOrders*
FROM tblOrders INNER JOIN tblCustomers ON tblOrders.CustomerNo = tblCustomers.CustomerNo
WHERE Name = "Smith"
I wasnt sure about the DELETE tblOrders to have a '*' after it or not . .
I have a form with a sub form. when a record is choosen in a combo box the sub form is filled out with a record.
what I am trying to do is have a button that will copy that record to a history table then delete it off the the main table.
I cheated by using the wizard to get the code to delete the record but I am having troubles modifying the code to copy that record to the history table. Here is the code below. I have tried to insert code in several places but it just errors out.
'------------------------------------------------------------
' Master_tbl_sub_fm

Function Master_tbl_sub_fm()
On Error GoTo Master_tbl_sub_fm_Err

Thank you.
I have a table which lists amendments (amendments history file) which need to take effect of another table (M0070), I can select the records fine and so the sub query looks to be okay but I'm missing something (probably obvious) in the deletion query where by it does only delete the records selected but everything (I know that the asterisk is wrong in the code below but I'm not sure what to replace it with).
At this point I'm trying to delete all records for a specific employee on a specific contract (they can be 1 or more employee records for that individual on a contract - and they could exist on multiple contracts).
DELETE *
FROM M0070
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT M0070.[Contract No], M0070.[Contract Name], M0070.[Employee No], M0070.Forename, M0070.Surname, M0070.Branch, M0070.[Long Desc], M0070.[Emp Post Start Date], M0070.[Days per week],

I have an employee and asset database. If an employee gets fired, I need remove them from the general employee records, but I want to save a record of that employee. Is there a way to delete an employee from one table and have it automatically added to another table?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWell I have two tables, one is the workorder register and the other is the closed work orders. This is for maintenance. I have a form for creating and veiwing workorders. I need to link a command button to the form that will delete the record being viewed in the WO REG table and paste it in the Closed WO table. I think I need to use two append queries but have no idea what I am doing. Here is what I have so far.
INSERT INTO [CLOSED WO] ( WO, MMCN, TECH, NOMIN, FUALTS, TYPE, [SECTION], CLOSEDATE, OPENDATE )
SELECT [WO REG].[WO], [WO REG].[MMCN], [WO REG].[TECH], [WO REG].[NOMIN], [WO REG].[FUALTS], [WO REG].[TYPE], [WO REG].[SECTION], [WO REG].[CLOSEDATE], [WO REG].[OPENDATE]
FROM [CLOSED WO], [EQUIP REG] INNER JOIN [WO REG] ON [EQUIP REG].[MMCN]=[WO REG].[MMCN]
WHERE ((([WO REG].[WO])=[WHAT WO TO CLOSE?]));
Like I said I have no idea what I am doing, this is out of the SQL view for my "move to closed WO" query. the fields I need to move are WO, MMCN, TECH, NOMIN, FUALTS, TYPE, SECTION, CLOSEDATE, and OPENDATE.
Is this even remotly right? I know nothing of VBA an all these symbols mean nothing to me.
I need urgent help, I am required at my job to come up with a command that will check to see if a table exists, and if so, delete the table. The whole process goes like this:
There's a form, and a listbox. 2 buttons...1 is import a file and 2nd is generate report. In the listbox theres 3 excel files. You select one excel file then click on Import, followed by clicking on Generate Report button.
The whole technical process is this:
1. A csv file is imported into a temp table
2. A temp table is created and named "_ImportedSKUS".
3. An append query is exectued to add the data from the "_ImportedSKUS" temp table to the final table, "Imported SKUs".
4. Then the temp table, "_ImportedSKUs" is closed and deleted.
I have a delete command at the end of the sub, which goes like this:
DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "_ImportedSKUS".
But I'm also need to generate an If statement before the loop that will check to see if the "_ImportedSKUs" table exists, if so, delete it (using same code listed above) and end if.
Can anyone help me out here???
little question here:
1) table deleting
i have a table in which temporary data is stored;
With a command button i want to delete the table (or maybe just the data in it);
2) information from table in textbox
In a form i have a textbox in which the data is mentioned from the table, after clicking the delete table button, i want also the texbox to be empty
First i tried to put the following code behind the onclick event but doesn't seem to work(?)
DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, tTable
It should be quite simple (i think?); please advise,
Thanks
Hi,
Is it possible to delete a record from a table whilst viewing that table through a form. The awkward part though is because I have another table linked to it.
Basically the main table is Orders and the other table is Items (these items make up an order). So when I go to simply click on delete an error message appears saying that I cannot delete the record but there are records attached to it in another table. This is fair enough but is there a smooth way off deleting off the items?
Many thanks,
Paul.

Can't see how to do it with a Query or macro though
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi all,
Quick question...
I have a master client table and a table of clients that have ordered from us, so don't want to be called again.
I want to delete the clients record from the master table by comparing the two tables and sayi that 'everytime you find a phone number from the 'ordered' table that exists in the master table, delete the record from the master table.
That way I will end up with a master table of clients who haven't placed an order.
Could anyone tell me the quey to run that could do that.
Thanks in advance - Lee

I am having difficulty deleting records in a linked DBF (standalone) table. The table links fine. I can run a delete query and the records appear to be deleted when I view the table from within Access. However, when I view the table outside of Access, the records that I thought were deleted are still there. The only way I can actually delete the records, is to import the table, delete the records and then export the table as a new DBF.
Can someone tell me why deleting from the linked table isn't working?
Thanks,
Sup

I am trying to run the following Delete Query
DELETE Master.*
FROM Master
WHERE (((Master.glm_series)=506) AND ((Master.glm_account) In (SELECT glm_account from glj )) AND ((Master.glm_prft_ctr) In (SELECT glm_prft_ctr from glj)));
The problem is it is trying to delete all the records with the account numbers = and ALL the records with profit center equal. I am getting 2564 records instead on 147 records.
The two tables are related by glm_account AND glm_prft_ctr - BOTH must be equal in order to delete
If I do an INNER Join or add the other table to the Query it gives me "Cannot Delete Records from Specified Table"
Help
TIA
