Oct 21, 2015I have a table whose key is two fields. I am having no luck in selecting a given record from a form and deleting it. No problem in a table with a single field key.

General :: Unwanted Deletion Related To Particular Record In Conversation Table
Mar 6, 2013I have 2 tables.
1- customers table with 2 fields : customername,customerno
2-conversationstable with 4 fields: date,customername,customerno,details
The conversations table is for keeping memo of telephone conversations with the customers.
I built a simple form deriving from the conversations table. And added to it a combobox with 2 columns from customers table to select the customername an customerno for the form.
While deleting the record in the conversations table,through the form, I saw that the customername and customerno in the customers table of that particular customer record are deleted also. I made no links between both tables.
I wonder why that happened.
Record Deletion In My Forms
Apr 14, 2006I have a form with a sub-form and a sub-sub-form :p
If I try to delete the record being viewed in the sub-form using
With DoCmd
.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 6, , acMenuVer70
End With
Then I here a ding (like you do when you try to delete a record) but I see no record delete confirmation box come up, if I hit enter, it deletes. So its there, but I can't see it, it's not behind the form either.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Incrementing Counter And Record Deletion
Apr 1, 2007Hi,
The user wants all of the records in the database to have continuous numbering. I have used AutoNumber in the past but if you delete a record, it produces gaps in the numbering.
I was wondering if there is a way to number the records so they are always numbered continuously (1,2,3,etc.) even if some record is deleted.
I have tried using the following:
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set recordlist = db.Openrecordset("SELECT Max(tblContactHistory.ItemID) AS MaxID FROM tblContactHistory")
ItemID = (recordlist!MaxID + 1)
recordlist.Close
Set recordlist = Nothing
but I still cannot get the records to have continuous numbering after a record is deleted.
Any helped would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Custom Record Deletion Sequence
Aug 7, 2007I want to create a custom sequence when deleting a record but I'm having a problem.
What I want to do is prompt the user for the reason he/she is deleting the record and then archive this so it can be viewed in a log at a later time. This extra step is not as easy as I thought it would be.
What I did was put some coding into the On Delete event of the form. The code opens a form with a text box. The user can enter the reason for the delete in the text box and click OK or click cancel to abort the deletion.
My problem here is opening another form from the On Delete event. As soon as the form is open, the code just passes to the next step of the sequence and deletes the record.
There are 2 approaches that I've thought of but I'm not happy with either.
Approach 1:
In the On Delete event, set Cancel to True. That way the deletion is not handled by the delete sequence but rather by the new form that opens. The problem is that deleting a record from another form is not that simple. What I've tried is to execute a SQL statement that grabs the ID of the record from the open form and delete it. The problem is that although the record is deleted, all the fields on the form say #Deleted in them which is not that pretty. (Maybe there's some other way to do the deletion without this problem that I'm not aware of...?)
Approach 2:
Use an Inputbox. Unlike a custom form, the Inputbox delays execution of the code so the code can determine from the results (i.e. should it cancel the delete if the user clicked Cancel). The problem with Inputboxes is that they are not very flexible in the layout, they look pretty "packaged" (i.e. they look to me like the programmer didn't bother creating a means to enter a value). There's no way to place the buttons where you want or have it do better validation (e.g. I want the FORM to check that there's at least a few words describing why the user is deleting the invoice rather than have the form with the record get the input message passed back and then give an error and then pop open the Inputbox again)
I think that especially when you're creating an application with anything financial, you'll want to log a deleted invoice including the date, amount, possibly the client's name, invoice number, reason for deletion and the login name of the person doing the deletion. All of these are easy to record other than the reason.
Help would be much appreciated.

Problem Inserting A Record After A Deletion
Apr 25, 2006I have a form and a subform. There are a number of buttons on the form, allowing me to add, update, delete, etc. records from the subform. The process is that I select a record on the subform, its details are displayed on the form, then clicking on <Delete>, for example, removes it.
Each of these processes work fine on their own and also if carried out one after the other, for the most part. The one problem I'm finding is when I delete a record.
Firstly, the subform appears to refresh and the record is no longer shown. However, if I then try to select another row from the subform, I get a message saying 'record is deleted'. I click on <OK> to remove this message and I can then select the same row or another row without any problems.
Secondly, if I now try to add a new record (the code behind the button is just 'DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec'), I get a message saying that I can't go to the selected record.
If I close and reopen the form between each activity, all works fine, suggesting that something isn't refreshing properly. I've tried putting 'Me.refresh' and 'Me.requery' immediately after running the deletion, but to no effect.
Any suggestions?
Modules & VBA :: Add Record Name To Deletion MsgBox
Aug 19, 2013I'm using this stardard piece of code on a button that deletes a record from a simple continuous contact form.
Code:
If MsgBox("Do You Want To Delete This Record?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, "Delete?") = vbYes Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord

Modules & VBA :: Reset Autonumber After Record Deletion
Jul 16, 2015We need to reset the autonumber after the last record is deleted.
For example:
2006
2007
2008
if 2008 gets deleted, we want the autonumber to reset back to 2008 rather than move to 2009.
Is this possible? This is the code we are using but cannot get the string to recognize the variable. If the variable is replaced with a number, it works, but it defeats the purpose of adding the plus 1 to the last autonumber.
Code:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim RLMax As Integer
Dim Statement As String
RLMax = DMax("[id]", "Table1")
RLMax = RLMax + 1
strSQL = "Alter table table1 Alter Column Id Autoincrement(RLMax,1)"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
End Sub
I realize we don't want to depend on the autonumber for anything other than a row identifier, but the table is setup that it is important for the rows to be sequential if the last record is deleted. Only if the last record is deleted.
Matrix View Allowing Checkbox For New Record Creation / Deletion?
May 29, 2013What I would like to do it take all 'RoleTitle' from RolesList, all 'CourseID' from courselist and show them as a pivot table/matrix with a checkbox that creates or deletes entries from the RoleRequirements table. So, if it exists in the RoleRequirements table then it should appear a checked, unchecking it would delete it from the table.
I am using access 2010 with a SQL server 2005 backend.
Temp Table Deletion
Mar 28, 2005Hey all-
I'm trying to create a simple 1 field temp table to populate a combo box with the name of the current user and the word "Company." However, after the user closes the form (or as soon as the Temp table is no longer necessary) I would like to delete the table. I can create the table, the fields, add the data, and populate the combo box just fine, but I'm having problems deleting the table after I'm done. I keep getting the error:
Run-Time Error 3211: The database engine could not lock table 'Temp' because it is already in use by another person or process.
here's my code:
Code:Option Compare DatabaseDim dbRoofing As DAO.Database Private Sub Form_Close()dbRoofing.TableDefs.Delete "Temp" 'where i get caught when i close the formEnd Sub Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)Set dbRoofing = CurrentDb Dim tblTemp As TableDefDim rcdTemp As DAO.Recordset Set tblTemp = dbRoofing.CreateTableDef("Temp")tblTemp.Fields.Append tblTemp.CreateField("Owner", dbText)dbRoofing.TableDefs.Append tblTemp Set rcdTemp = dbRoofing.OpenRecordset("Temp", dbOpenDynaset)With rcdTemp.AddNew!Owner = CurrentUser.Update.AddNew!Owner = "Company".Update.CloseEnd WithOwner.RowSource = "SELECT Temp.Owner FROM Temp"End Sub

Active Table And History Table, How To Copy On Deletion?
Feb 14, 2006My 2nd post, and I am very new to DB and Access. I have a problem that I want to get help on. I want to set up a main form that is used to enter and delete all data for my table. I wish to add either a button or to make it automatically happen when a record is deleted, that it is first copied to a separate table with the same fields, except it also has a closed date that would be the date that the record was copied over. I know zilch about VB, VBA or any other language other than AutoIt, so assume I am what I am, an ignorant beginner.
I did look into the event somethihng like upondeletion or something... while trying to find help on this in the access and VBA parts of Office, but I do not know how to utilize the event with Basic or SQL, which I know none of either.
Any help or examples are very much appreciated.
**EDIT**
I do not require all fields to be recorded to the secondary DB (History), so if someone can just give me an example of how I would move two fields to a separate DB, I can hopefully learn enough from it to do more.
Thanks a Bunch!
EXAMPLE**
Current Loans (Table 1):
CustomerID
Name
Address
City
State
Phone
Customer History (Table 2):
CustomerID
Name
Phone
That gives an example to help understand what I need. I want to store the CustomerID, Name and Phone values of the record being deleted, to the History Table, which I am using as a closed account table for later look up.

Append 2 Fields From One Table And One Record To Another Table?

Table Fields -to- Part Of A Record
Jul 22, 2005Hi,
I think I know my way around a database, but my new employer has me doing kart-wheels. There is an Excel sheet of values which I have imported to Access tables, the table contains ledger values on it and the account numbers are in the fields as column headers.
I want to reflect those field values as part of the actual record in a summary query.
I think this can be done with just a few steps without creating more than one table or query???
Please help. :cool:
Tables :: Populating Record Fields From One Table To Another
Nov 23, 2012I have created a database which has 9 tables, the first table being the contact information, but in all tables there are fields for firstname, lastname. Is there a way when you enter the firstname/lastname fields into the main table that it can populate the same information in to the same fields in the other tables? If so how?

Deletion Of Certain Info Within A Row???
Aug 4, 2005Hello Gurus,
I need to perform a massive deletion within Access and I want to find out if there is a simple piece of SQL that can be written to complete this task.
Example:
I have a table called GAB - one of the columns is called email addresses
Currently all the email addresses look like this: m14.dpitts@****.com
I need them to look like this: dpitts@****.com, so all I need to do is remove the 'm14.'
Is there something within Access that will accomplish this?? Kinda like substr in Oracle?
Any help would be great!!! :)

In my RunSQl query, i want to delete all records in table1 and table2 simultaneously from one button with a certain country.

I get an error that i have to specify the table to delete from!!!!
Preventing Data Deletion
Dec 5, 2007I have developed a database in Access which has user permissions implemented. These are set so that only Full Data Users have permission to delete information.
However, it has come to my attention that users can get around this by creating a query and then deleting records displayed in its results. I can't understand why this is possible, because the permissions should prevent this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
