Can you delete multiple tables in a delete query? If so, how is this done?
My SQL looks like this....
DELETE TABLE1.*, [TABLE2].*, [TABLE3].*
FROM TABLE1, [TABLE2], [TABLE3];
Logically I thought this is what all I would need to but I keep geeting the error message "Could Not Delete From Specified Tables." Whats going on here? Thanks in advance.
I have two tables.
1. Persons (list of persons)
2. Job history (list of jobs)
each person have their own job history. all these jobs are stored in the job history table. when i delete a person i would like the job history for this person deleted as well. each job stored in the job table have a field with person name, so that it is linked to this person.
how can i do this? vba or simple properties options?

Hi,
Been reading the forums for a while now. Thanks to all you knowledgable people out there! Been a huge help in learning this program.
Here's a question that stumped me...
I have a table that is about 90,600 entries long with 4 fields per record.
Now here's the issue:
Approximately 25,000 of these entries are duplicates - based upon TWO of the fields.
SO we have:
Field1 Field2 Field3 EntryDateField
if Field1 and Field2 Match, I want to delete the record that has the OLDER entry date.
any ideas how I might accomplish this?
Thanks!!!

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 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 number of linked tables that vary depending on use. How to delete them or drop them all from the database? I produced/stole some code that deleted all tables - but it didn't delete the linked ones.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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:
How can I go about deleting records fully? So that there autonumber, etc can be used again without access moaning.
Thanks :D
I have a query (Query1) which returns results In one field recordID.

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.

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.
Is there a way to delete multiple queries or tables when in Design View, rather than 1 at a time?

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!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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
