Deleting One Table From Another
Jul 26, 2007
Hi All!
I am relatively new to Access. But over the past few weeks I have developed a large Db. I have searched the Forum under almost every thing I can imagine and have tried to implement some of them.
What I need to do is delete the records in one table from another table. I tried using a delete query but simply get told I "You cannot delete from the specified tables." I have checked almost everywhere I can find to check and the tables are not in read only status and I built it.
I have also tried doing it from a module in VBA with the code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE tblNewHRoster.* FROM tblRosterwoNHires.*" & _
"WHERE tblRosterwoNHires.[Rep_Name] = tblNewHRoster.[Rep_Name]"
On this I get told there is an "Syntax Error in Query. Incomplete Query Clause."
Can any one help? As you can probably tell I need a lot of it.

Hello.
I am using a large database, which usually works fine, and is set to compact on close.
Occasionally it has been losing a lot of data in the main table, probably when it compacts, down to a round number of records. This time it left me with 10,000 records exactly. (It has been different round numbers before)
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this?
Thanks.

Hi,
I wonder if any of you could help me with what I assume to be a simple request, but one I've stuggled to find an answer to in the 'help' searches that I've done.
I'm working with an Access 2003 database that was originally designed to use a copy of a live table held elsewhere (this copy only used a subset of the fields from the main table). I now need to change the database so that it references the live table only, to ensure data integrity. To do this, I want to remove the 'copy table' and make all forms, queries, reports, macros etc. refer to the live table instead.
Is there a 'where used' procedure that I can run to find all the objects that use this table, rather than my having to go through every single one and check if this table is referenced (there are hundreds of such objects in this database)?
Thanks for your time,

I have a table to which items must be added and others must be removed. Items in the table must be numbered consecutively At present I switch from the table to a query and manually reset the reqirements in the criteria section for each alteration. Can I set up a Query, Update query or something similar so the when I add or delete an Item the numbers field automatically renumbers the rest of the field. If this is understood. Thanks to anyone who can help.

I have a simple form with a subform on it (see enclosed Access 2000 Database). I'm trying to add/change/delete records from table: Component Name. Adding and changing records is not a problem but deleting is. It only deletes the value of the field "Interative Component Name" and not the entire record. I have my joins defined properly on the tables. What am I missing? I wish this Access stuff was easier to learn. Any help/clues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have created a form to record addresses, phone numbers and other information. How do I go about creating a DELETE button that when pressed, deletes ALL records from the table.
Many thanks in advance and for those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi,
Im working on a database that has to be shared by 3 or 4 users. In on of the actions that the database performs, it has to delete records from a table first.
When sharing the database, it always asks the users (using access viewer) whether 'they are sure that the want to delete the records'. Does this always happen? And why? How can I get rid of it? Would it matter if I change it from a table to a query?
Thanx,
Stacey

I want to automatically delete records from a table in MS Access 2002, I want to keep the existing table structure and therefore I do not want to delete the entire table. I cannot find a way to do this through a macro. Any help on this would be appreciated

Hi
Apologies if there is a previous post that answers this - I've looked, but can't find anything that works.
I have two tables with identical structures. tblA contains a subset of the records on tblB, with identical values on all fields except ID. I need to remove from tblB all records appearing on tblA. I thought the following would work:
DELETE tblB.* from tblB
INNER JOIN tblA ON tblB.Field1 = tblA.Field1
AND tblB.Field2 = tblA.Field2
AND tblB.Field3 = tblA.Field3...
but I get "Could not delete from specified tables".
What am I doing wrong? Or is there an easier way?
Dave

Hi, I have a problem deleting a specific row and field that my query have.
What I want to do is mainly delete a specific rows in the my Query table that has : Field 1, Field 2, Field 3, Field4
what i tried to do was doing is create and array that loop through the Query table and check in field 1 for a certain value and if that certain value appears I want to delete that row: for example
Dim IntRow As Integer
Dim IntCol As Integer
Dim varData As Variant
For IntCol = 0 To numFields Step 1
For IntRow = 0 To numRows Step 1
If (rst.EOF = False) Then
'Check Field 1 for value 47-72 to delete
Else
If (varData(0,IntRow) > 47 And varData(0,IntRow) < 72) Then
varData(IntCol, IntRow).Delete
End If
End If
Next IntRow
Next IntCol
In the example Above my syntax is not correct for :
If (varData(0,IntRow) > 47 And varData(0,IntRow) < 72)
and for varData(IntCol, IntRow).Delete.
can anyone help me to find the exact syntax i need to use to execute the program above?
THANK YOU!

I use Access on a daily basis as an end user at work and am building my very first database for my woodworking business I started this year.
So what I am wanting to do is import my Excel inventory list to a table. Along with the categories I have in Excel, I have created inventory numbers for my products. Since I'm not exactly a businessman and accustomed to inventory systems, my inventory numbers just start with "AA" and go on up (I chose this as opposed to assigning numbers so customers aren't confused when they see a price tag).
Anyways, what I am doing is creating a Sales table and accompanying form for entering sales of each product. What I would like to happen is every time I make enter a record into the Sales form, I would like for the item to be deleted automatically from the inventory table.

I have a combo box that inserts data into an unbound list box and table. This works great but I am having trouble with the deletion part. I want to be able to dbl click on the item in the item list and delete it from both the list box and table. Currently, my code is deleting ALL items, not just the one item I want to get rid of. Any ideas would be most appreciated :)
This is what I have for the deletion code:
Private Sub List92_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
sql2 = "delete from PROFILE_Industry where "
sql2 = sql2 & "profile_id = " & Me!Profile_ID
sql2 = sql2 & " And Industry_focus = '" & Me!List92.Value & "';"
DoCmd.RunSQL (sql2)
Me.Refresh
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End Sub

My table (excel spreadsheet) sits on another directory from the DB. If I delete the table on this directory and immediately replace it with a table with the same filename, format, etc (only the data has changed) will each database user have to relink the table on their desktop DB? Or will the forms/subforms/reports still maintain their relationships/functions and just display the new data?

I am trying to delete a record from a table and when I pass the variable as a text value it works but when I pass as a number I am getting a mismatch error.
I have to use it as a number as I am doing other update code in my database and it is a number.
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM TblIssueData Where tblIssueData.SerNum = ' & Me.txtserNum & ';"
When I am using TblIssueData SerNum as a text variable in table it works but when I specify SerNum as a number in the table it gives me data mismatch error. I have to leave it as a number for other VBA code in my database. I believe it is just a syntax error but not sure where to go with it.

I have a form linked to a table and in my form there is a listbox reflecting the records in my table. Evereytime I tick a record in the list box the information on its corresponding columns appears on the text field.
So far I am able to add, modify and save record to my table using this form but I am having a problem on deleting a record which I selected on the listbox. I created a delete command button but it is not working. Please see attached database.

I have a temporary table within my access database. I have a macro button that makes the table (thus deleting the old one in the process) and then appends information from three other queries to it.I want to stop the standard warning message from coming up. The message I get is below. I have already cleared the action queries check box so the warnings for the making table (if no previous table exists) query and appending data query have disappeared. However the below message still pops up when the make table query begins to try and delete the old table. How I can make it go away?
"The query you are about to run is a make-table query. Unlike most queries that displays data in Datasheet view, a make-table query creates a table and copies specific records from one or more tables and queries. If the table already exists, the query will replace the structure and contents of the table.If your intention is to create or replace a table, click Yes. To avoid being prompted when you run such queries, click the File tab, then click Options. In the Access Options dialog box, click Client Settings. Under Editing, clear the Action queries check box.

I have a form where a user enter an ID and some details. This is saved in Table A.The ID is also in Table B - What I want is, once the user saves it in Table A-I want it to be deleted from Table B. Ultimately, Table A has all information and Table B will only have those IDs that haven't been entered in Table A. what is entered in Table A shouldn't be there in Table B.Is there a way to do this using a macro?I did find a VBA code online -
Private Sub Submit_Enter()
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM TBL_ClaimsToBeAssigned"
where [Claim ID] = Forms![FRM_PendsAssign]![Claim ID]
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM TBL_ClaimsToBeAssigned"
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End Sub

I've just joined a company based in Scotland, they are running a multiple user access 2000 database: backend and front-end. Recently they have had an issue where a user inserting a new row in a table, as they do, the record above drops off the table (disappears/unrecoverable). My first impression has been that this is a DB corruption issue and as such have ran compact/repair.We are running this database on network server:
-Backend resides in central location
-Frontend - Each user has their own front-end, storded on their personal network drive.
Would I be right in saying that the best solution would be to convert to newer version of access ?

I am trying to create a Delete query.
I am trying to delete a specific part from multiple BOMs in my database.
I have a table of the BOMs that I want to look in. I called this table PartTable. I also linked my database table SYSADM.REQUIREMENT which contains all the requirement parts for all of our BOMs.
So I am wanting to delete only part number 123XX from each of the BOMs in my PartTable.
I am able to select the records with:
Code:
SELECT SYSADM_REQUIREMENT.*
FROM SYSADM_REQUIREMENT INNER JOIN PartTable ON SYSADM_REQUIREMENT.WORKORDER_BASE_ID = PartTable.PART_ID
WHERE (((SYSADM_REQUIREMENT.WORKORDER_TYPE)="M") AND ((SYSADM_REQUIREMENT.WORKORDER_BASE_ID)=[PartTable].[PART_ID]) AND ((SYSADM_REQUIREMENT.WORKORDER_LOT_ID)="0") AND ((SYSADM_REQUIREMENT.PART_ID)="123XX"));
Now how do I delete these same records.
I am getting error saying I have to select a table to delete from....

Im trying to delete values from a table based on the selected values of a listbox. The listbox values have a hidden column which related to the ID on the table to which I am trying to delete from (if that makes sense).
If I use the following code:
Code:
Set ctl = Me.Results_listbox
For Each varItem In ctl.ItemSelected
CurrentDb.Execute "Delete * FROM Table1 WHERE Table1.ID = " & ctl.ItemData(varItem)
Next varItem
I get an error stating Object doesn't support this property or method.
