Deleting All Related Sub Records When Deleting The "main" Record.
Apr 12, 2008
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?
I have an ordering db that utilyzes the typical Form / Subform layout. I would like to be able to delete a record from the Main form and maintain the same postion relative to the other records. For example, if I am scrolling through the records and want to delete record #45, After I delete it I would like to be able to have record #44 visible to the user.
I am currently using (2) SQL statements to delete the records from the main Order table and the Order Details table which are linked without Cascade Delete Related Records being on.
I had set-up a recordset procedure to try and find the bookmark set before deletion but the only way I can get the sub-form to not show a blank form (no controls visible for the record just deleted and the #deleted in controls on the main form) is to requery after the delete, which loses the bookmark. If i place the ReQuery at the end it displays the records properly, (without the blank record) but returns the record to the first record. I have tried turning off any sorting references to OrderBy, etc. but it still returns to the first record.
I have also tried using "DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord" but it doesn't delete the record from both tables.
Hi, I have a problem I don't know how to solve it. I have a subform in datasheet view, linked to the main form. There is a running total on the main form based on a dsum on a field of the subform. When I delete a row on the subform datasheet, the main form calculation is not automatically updated. I had to create a "update" button to do the refresh. Is there a "on record delete" event available for a datasheet sub form? Thank you for any help.
I have a main form with several linked by ID worksheet sub-forms. I would like to add a on-click function to delete the main form and all related record on each sub-form. I have tried several methods but nothing is working correctly. The cascading delete function is not available as part of the form relationships. How I can accomplish this?
In my Access2000 db, I have a table, on which many different queries are based. Many forms are based on those queries. I want to delete some redundant fields from the table. I tried deleting one, but I found I could no longer open any of the associated queries and forms. Is there a simple way to delete table fields so that it doesn't stop me from opening associated queries and forms? (There are hundreds of them, and I have a lot of table fields that I want to delete).
I was wondering how to delete records that have been checked (through a checkbox) in a form...
Also, I want to add a record after the record that has been checked. I only want this ability to add records available if only one record is checked. Otherwise, if more than one record is checked, the "Add Record" button would be disabled.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 a form that is normally populated with records from a table based on a query. I have a new requirement that would allow the form to be a "New Record" that they could enter information and save to the table that is mentioned above. My problem is unless they finish entering data, I would like this record to NOT be saved to the table. If they enter no data, the record is currently not saved, which is good. If they enter any data but do not finish, the table is saved, which is not good. Is there a delete last record, or is there a better way to do this. The table is replicated so the ID's are random. Thanks

I have 3 tables: 1. customer 2. DVD collection 3. Borrow
The aim of this system is to create a home borrowing system.
The customer table has a one to many relationship with the borrow table, while the dvd collection has a one to one with borrow. I can create a new book with no problem, and even view these on a form. Here my proble arises.
I ahve another form to return a DVD. I view the records from the borrow table, and once found what i want there is a button which deletes the record from the borrow table. Sadly, when i press this button, not only does it delete the record in the borrow table, but it will also delete the record from the DVD collection table.
I have tried everything i can think of, and i don't want to change to change the design as i have found this mnethod very easy to generate reports and the like. Any help??
Thanks
EDIT: the button i used was from the wizard that comes up when you create a button.
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?
