Deleting
Feb 21, 2005
I have a problem about deleting record from a form, it will be grateful if anyone can help me with this.
Here are my tables:
Par_tor: some personal details such as ID, name, phone NO., etc
Par_tion: the record of who has participated which activities.
Activity: name of the activity.
My problem is: the main form of the my form contains the stuffs in table Par_tor, and the subform contains the stuffs in Par_tion, so the user can view these participator's details and the activities they have participated.
In the main form, I also wanted to created a delete button to delete an entire record (including a participator's detail + his/her participation record) at once, but it didn't work since the participation was in the Par_tion table not in the Par_tor.
So is there any way that I can delete these records at once?

Hi
I have a form with a "Clear Form" button on to allow the user to delete the record they are working on without updating the database. A question window pops up asking if they are sure they want to delete the record, if they answer yes the form will clear and re-load without updating the database.
The OnClick Event Procedure will not allow me to delete the data, it always saves. I've tried
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to abandon changes to this record?", vbExclamation + vbYesNo, "LogBook 2002") = vbYes Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
Else
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End If
but I get the error "2046 - The command or action DeleteRecord isn't available now." Is there another way, a better way?

I have two tables (same data but slightly different attribute structure) with a one-to-one relationship (the join field is "ID"). There are 69 matching records in these tables. How can I delete these matching records from table A, while leaving them alone in table B?
I'm confused because I brought both tables into a select query, created a join from ID to ID (within in the query's design view), and then added all fields from table A to the query. I then ran the select query and saw the 69 records from table A in the query's data view that I wanted to delete, highlighted all records and clicked delete. However, this action deleted the 69 matching records from TABLE B, not Table A!!! How is this possible? What should I do instead? Thanks.

A strange request but I hope someone can help with this one
I have a table (tbl_Econ) where I have to delete a specified number of records from a table. It does not matter which records as long as I delete the exact number
e.g On a form text box I enter the number or records to be deleted (e.g.6000).
The table (tbl_Econ) has 8000 records, so I have to delete 6000 records. I need to be able to do this automatically :eek:

:confused:
I am Developing a simple VBA program for Access for my final year of my Degree and I have come up with a problem that I don’t seem to be able to fix.
I have create tables using SQL
SQL = "CREATE TABLE tblInvoiceLines" & _
"(InvoiceNo LONG, PartNo LONG," & _
"Quantity LONG)"
DoCmd.RunSQL (SQL)
Deleting this with the below code works,
SQL = ""
'This will delete the Invoice Line Table
SQL = "DROP TABLE tblInvoiceLines"
DoCmd.RunSQL (SQL)
But once I alter the table with the below code the Delete command doesn’t work, does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
SQL = "ALTER TABLE tblInvoiceLines " & _
"ADD CONSTRAINT fkInvoiceNo " & _
"FOREIGN KEY NO INDEX (InvoiceNo) REFERENCES " & _
"tblInvoices (InvoiceNo) " & _
"ON UPDATE CASCADE " & _
"ON DELETE CASCADE "
conDatabase.Execute SQL
Thanks

Hi All,
I have a very simple name and address DB. What I would like to know is "What is the easiest way of finding a record using the switchboard and then deleting that record from the DB?"
I am an Access novice so nice easy replies would be appreciated.
Many Thanks

Hi All
I have 2 tables "Customers" and "Work in Progress (WIP)"
The "WIP" table is result of the form "WIP" where I input all my data for each job completed. I use a lookup control "JobNo" to input the customer details from the table "Customers".
The objective is to call up the customer details into "WIP" add the job details, then on save, delete the record in the "Customers" table.
If this is possible, could you give me some ideas how.
Thanks in Advance.

Let's say we have a table:
Sipping branchReceiving BranchProduct #Qty to ship
a c PR1 43
a d PR1 25
a k PR1 1
....
Now I want to delete all lines that have same product code and shipping branch as a privous line.
So the only max amounts for each product and each shipping branch will remain.
How to delete those lines?
Thank you.

Hi,
how would i go about deleting a set of records? i can get a list of records together in a query taken from 4 tables and would need to, if necessary, delete a single line. not all information needs to be deleted from all 4 tables though? the info to be deleted would only be deleted from 1 or 2 tables being the last 2 in the relationship.
i guessed it might be an append query but im not too familiar with them.
any chance of a possible suggestion?
many thanks,
NS

An individual posted a new thread today (3/14/08) (believe it was in the General Section) asking for a help with a UDF that wouldn't process. He received one response, then I came in with another response which I later edited to include more info. Saved it, checked back to ensure it was what I wanted -- it was.
Closed the browser, shut down the computer. When I later reopened this site, the thread was missing entirely. Did a search on my recent posts -- it's not there.
I'm baffled -- how does a thing like that work?

In my program you are allowed to make backups of the current databases to an external file. It also allowes you to get the tables back from one of those files. At least it should.
I thought this wouldn't be a biggy. I thought I'd just delete my current tables and replace them with "docmd.tranferdatabase" acImport.
But the stupid thing wont let me delete its tables because they are connected to each other. Can I somehow delete the link before deleting them?
If so will the links be there again once I restore the tables from the backup?
Or do I need to reconnect them somehow to each other.
Or maybe another approach would be to import them without deleting the original ones. Thus the new ones get the same name of the original ones + "1" or something. Than I delete all records from all my original tables. And refill them with all the records from the new ones (the + "1"-ones) And delete the new ones. And if I would do that, would it be best to use AcImport or AcLink (from docmd.tranferdatabse)
Can I have some pro's oppinion on this plz.

If you delete a record, the auto number is deleted but the following number remains unchanged e.g. 1 2 4 5 6 (Record 3 deleted). How can you rebuild a table so the auto number remain sequential. Using Access 2003

I have created a table for product codes and prices. After importing data from Excel I have a LOT of duplicated records. So I set up a query to search for 'distinct' records and then set up a delete query to delete anything that is not distinct. The query seems to be setup correctly (I have followed the instructions from Access Help) - but then when I try and run the query I get the message 'Could not delete from specified tables' - Is this a permissions issue? And if it is, where do I set up the permissions for the database? Thank you any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I was wondering if there is a way in selecting all tables and deleting at one go instead of selecting one by one. Perhaps a little bit of programming. Tx in adv

Hello, Does anyone have any suggestions on how to delete certain rows? For example rows 10,000 to 17,000. I know in MS SQL server you can use Rowcount, but I believe there is no Rowcount in Access?

hi,
the delete button of the frmInputBox is unable to delete the data "InputText" and "InputText2" at the frmCalender. Refer to its Dec 2006 & Jan 2007 calender, the datas are unable to be deleted from (1st to 11th Dec '06) and (2nd to 12th Jan '07).
Both months have the same number (11 days) of days unable to be deleted.
Also, those days that were unable to be deleted were also having problems with editing the datas. (refer to attachment)

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.

Hi there, i have a master reset to delete all the data in the database. Although, as there is a username and password entry to get into the admin module, i wish for one entry in the table participantTable to not get deleted (to save one password/username so its possible to log into the admin module after the reset). The code below will delete everything, how can i change it so it keeps the first record in the table, and then deletes all the other records after.
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * from participantTable"
Thanks in advance
