Delete Records From Linked DBF Table
Oct 17, 2005
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

Hi all.
I kind of got stuck with this one.
I'm trying to use a Delete query to delete some records from Table A.
Let's say Table A has three fields: A1, A2 and A3
Then there's another table, Table B, with two fields: B1 and B2
Within one Delete Query, i need to delete all the records from Table A for which: A1=B1
Thanks for your help.

My goal is to get a huge amount of data paired down so that I can work with it in Excel.
I started with a 14 million record text file provided by a government agency. I used a text editor to break that into 7 2-million record files to fit into Access.
I figure I can filter each of those files down to 500,000 or so records, so that I can manipulate them in Excel. The problem is, when I open a text file in Access, Access insists on linking it, and then I can't delete data from a linked file.

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],
[Code] .....

I am rebuilding an application for a client and I have an Access table that I am using as a temporary table. Once the user is done entering information into the temporary table through a form, the user presses an update button that appends the records using an Append Query in Access to an SQL Server Table.
The following error message occurs:
"ODBC -- insert on a linked table 'linked tblname' failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Explicit value must be specified for identity column in table 'linked tblname' when IDENTITY INSERT is set to ON. (#545)
I am using a form, subform combination to record a bill with many details. The bill summary is posted into a tbl_TransactionsMain table in SQL Server using the ADO AddNew method. The PK for the tbl_TransactionsMain is then entered into the temporary table in Access. When the temporary table records are appended into tbl_TransactionDetail the error message occurs.
What is also interesting is while typing out this post I thought to test the error by manually trying to run the query. The query worked like a charm! :confused: When the orginal error occurred off of the form I tried to run the query manually and it failed. I am guessing that this might have something to do with the ODBC timeout.
I think SQL Server/ODBC connection is not liking how I have a set of records in an Access table with foreign key numbers assigned when I am attempting to append the records. I am new to SQL Server and any ideas are most appreciated! :)

I have two tables as follows;
Master file:Vessel_master
Vessel_code
Vessel_name
main data table:Main
Vessel_code
container_no
size
Voyage
weight
by using above two table have made a query as follows;
Vessel_name:Vessel_master
Vessel_code:Main
container_no:Main
size:Main
Voyage:Main
weight:Main
Have joined "vessel_code" fields of the both tables by join type 2.
by using the query as data source made a form to edit/update/delete data. the problem is, when delete a record by using the form, it will delete the related data in the master file as well, which i do not want.

I have a very simple 2010 Access database with only one table which contains a few fields (username, email, phone....)
I have a combobox with unbound controls to search/find users (by the lastname field). The combobox is in the header section which populates the fields (controls?) in subform below.
I have a delete button with some VBA code which allows the user to delete the currently displayed record however when the form refreshes, I end up with two issues:
1: I see #deleted# in the combobox dropdown until the dbase is closed/reopened (it's only typically used by one person at a time.) Compact/Repair doesn't seem necessary, especially since i think it's pretty difficult to do this programatically (?)
2: There are blank rows in the combobox dropdown from where the data used to reside after deleting the record.
I haven't been able to figure out how to remove those blank rows and refresh the combobox to display the remaining records (with the blank rows removed). So I have dozens of blank rows. Me.Requery doesn't seem to work.
My assumption is that the blank rows exist because I'm deleting the content from the combobox's initial creation?
Is there a better way to allow user's to see the list of user's and then be able to select that record and delete it?
If I use a simple search box on a form where people have to type a (last name for example), if it's spelled incorrectly, then nothing would be found.

I have done everything I can think of to remedy this, but I can't figure out why this is happening. I have a linked table from excel that contains 5 fields for each record. I have a table in access with matching records and 20-30 fields. The linked spreadsheet is used when adding records. I have a query that queries both tables to get all data from both and a form based on that query where others can pertinent data for the records resulting from the query. My problem is that when I open the form the new records that were added in the linked file are there but all the fields from the access table cannot be updated. I have looked every place I know to look for record locks, read only options, everything I can think of why i cannot update these records and I am coming up empty. I checked my join properties and selected the only one that actually displays the linked records when the query is run (not sure the name of the join but it's #2 of 3 join properties options (in Access 2002). maybe I am just overlooking something simple? Do you have any ideas what I can do here?
Thanks!

Hi,
Relevant to this query are two tables, tblNames and tblLinks.
I've been trying, with a very limited understanding, to generate a list of every tblName.Name where tblName.NameID IS NOT in tblLinks.NameID.
Is this something I can do in the query design view or do I need to work with raw SQL?
Any tips appreciated:)

Greetings all.
I'm posting this question here as it pertains to my form but it could go in tables section as well.
I developed a prototype app in Access and have just finished upscaling it
to Sybase 12.5. When I open up the associated form to add records, I am unable to do so. The built in button that allows you to do so is greyed out.
When I go into the table directly, again, no ability to add recs.
I've never come across this so if anyone has any experience with this, any help would be most welcome.
TIA,
Tim

I'm wondering if it's possible to create a Query / Macro / VBA or whatever works, to detect the duplicate records in a table and delete them with the push of a command button. Or, even to do this automatically when the database opens using an AutoExec macro or something ?. I'd like for one copy of each record to be left intact in the table.

I am trying to create a delete query that, for a given person, deletes records in Table B that do not have a corresponding record in Table A.
Here are the relevant tables:
tblStates holds StateID, StateName, and RegionID (RegionID is a FK to tblRegions).
tblPeopleStates is a junction table between tblPeople and tblStates.
It lists states assigned to people. It has 3 fields: PersonStateID, PersonID, StateID.
tblPeopleRegions is a junction table between tblPeople and tblRegions.
It lists regions assigned to people. It has 3 fields: PersonRegionID, PersonID, RegionID.
For a given PersonID, I need to delete records (i.e., states) in tblPeopleStates whose RegionID is *not* in tblPeopleRegions.
For example, pretend that tblStates shows that State IDs 1, 5, and 6 are all in Region ID (i.e., all have a RegionID = 10).
If Joe (PersonID = 200) has StateIDs 1, 5, and 6 in tblPeopleStates, but doesn't have a record for RegionID = 10 in tblPeopleRegions, I need to delete his three records in tblPeopleStates (i.e., the ones where StateID = 1, 5, and 6).
PersonID will be found on [Forms]![frmMain]![subform1].[Form]![subform2].Form]![PersonID]

I have a sub form that allows users to add staff to a project team, once added it populates a table which updates the subform showing the selected employee. I am trying to enable a delete function that allows users to remove an employee from the project team in the subform showing selected staff. Here is the code I have so far, but it doesn't work;
Code:
Private Sub Command4_Click()
Dim dbs As Database
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim sqlstr As String
Set dbs = CurrentDb
sqlstr = "DELETE tbl_CapexStaff.* FROM tbl_CapexStaff WHERE CAP_ID = Forms!frm_Switchboard.CAP_Live"
dbs.Execute (sqlstr)

I would like to create a query that will delete records that match several fields from another table. This is complicated by the fact that one of the fields will be in one of 3 columns.I have attached a test database (no real details), all Sheet2 entries need to be deleted from Sheet1.
What I need to do is delete records that have the same 'Surname' and 'DPS' value but also the same 'Line5' value from Sheet2 in 'Line3' or 'Line4' or 'Line5' in Sheet1.The 'Surname' and 'DPS' are no problem, it's the variable position of the third field. I think I could do it in three separate queries but it would definitely be better in one.

I have an Access database with linked tables from Sybase SQL Anywhere, via an ODBC data source. I have just linked the tables recently, all the data used to be in native Access tables. It is fairly common for members of our team to open these tables in datasheet view, and copy/paste several records to create new records, then edit a few fields on the new records. This used to work fine with native Access tables, but when we try it with the linked tables we either get an ODBC error - "primary key value already exists" or the new records show up with #Deleted.
The root of the problem is this: In the old Access tables, the primary key was an autonumber field, and Access was smart enough to assign new ID's when you copy/pasted records. In the linked table, the primary key is type "Number" in Access, and Access is not smart enough to let Sybase assign new ID's when you copy/paste records in datasheet view. Access is trying to force the existing ID's into the primary key field, and Sybase says "too bad so sad".
Of course, I could just write some quick append queries to copy/paste the data. And in the short term, that's exactly what I will have to do. But is there any way, long term, to allow members of my team to do it the "quick & dirty" way by copy/pasting in datasheet view? I have tried to change the primary key to an autonumber field in design view, but Access doesn't allow that. Is there a way to do it in code, or a way to force Access to allow Sybase to always handle the primary key field?

I have a form to add, edit, and delete Records from a table. I am using the following VBA
Private Sub cmdEdit_Click()
If Not (Me.frmlEmpDetailsSub.Form.Recordset.EOF And Me.frmlEmpDetailsSub.Form.Recordset.BOF) Then
With Me.frmlEmpDetailsSub.Form.Recordset
Me.txtAddEditname = .Fields("Name")
Me.cboRoster = .Fields("Roster")
Me.cboPermFctn = .Fields("PermFctn")
End With
End If
End Sub
Instead of referring to the Subform to load the data i would like to refer to a combobox:
cboSearchName
Its not an issue but This Combobox contains 5 columns...
