Deleting .ldb File

Nov 8, 2005

I have a database that needs repaired, but can't because the database thinks users are still in it. The users listed in the .ldb are not logged in. Can I simply delete the ldb file, or the contents of the ldb file, then repair, w/o consequences?

thank you!!!

Deleting Oldest File

Sep 23, 2005

Greetings!

I am using this in a module to copy files to a directory:

----------------------------
Public Function Backup()

Dim fso As FileSystemObject

Dim sSourcePath As String
Dim sSourceFile As String
Dim sBackupPath As String
Dim sBackupFile As String

sSourcePath = "c:a"
sSourceFile = "db2.mdb"
sBackupPath = "c:aa"
sBackupFile = "BackupDB_" & Format(Date, "mmddyyyy") & "_" & Format(Time, "hhmmss") & ".mdb"

Set fso = New FileSystemObject
fso.CopyFile sSourcePath & sSourceFile, sBackupPath & sBackupFile, True
Set fso = Nothing

End Function

---------------------

Now, what I want to do is delete the oldest file after there have been 5 files copied. In other words, I will be running this once a day and only want to retain the newest 5 copies. Once the sixth has been copied, delete the oldest one in the directory.

Any suggestions?

Code:
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile (Path)

where Path is a string, files location on network.

Modules & VBA :: Deleting File Based On Date

Feb 12, 2014

So I currently have a module which automatically backs up my database to a separate file everyday on open of my database.

If is it possible to create a function which will allow me to delete these backups after a certain amount of days (eg 30 days). They all have different file names based on the time that the backup was created but have the same extension of "*.accdb". I ask because it stores EVERY backup so the storage space required will soon build up unless manually deleting the files which is not what my client will want,

I have tried using the "Kill(pathname)" function but have had no luck yet!

If possible, I would like this to be done automatically either on open or on close of my database.

Would this be done with a module?

Modules & VBA :: MDB File - Deleting Multiple Items In List At Once

May 28, 2014

In appendix is .mdb file with this thema.

Inside you can find one form with listbox (with multi selecting ability).

I use this code :

Dim strSQL As String
Dim i As Variant
With Me.se1
For Each i In .ItemsSelected
SQL = "DELETE '*' FROM [t1] WHERE [id] = " & .ItemData(i) & " ;"
CurrentDb.Execute (SQL)
Next
End With
Me.se1.Requery

Result is this one :
1) If I delete only one item in list, it is ok. I can do it again and again and it is working fine.

BUT

2) If I delete more items in list at once, it is ok - but if I will try to do it again then there is an error because .ItemData(i) value is Null.

Modules & VBA :: Deleting Record And Then Delete Listed File?

Jan 7, 2015

What is the correct syntax that would delete a file when the record is deleted. The file's path is listed in a record field, MailLocation. Every time I try this code, I receive an error!

I've tried the below, and number of iterations, including calling the killfile differently (me![MailLocation], me.MailLocation).

Code:
Private Sub Form_AfterDelConfirm(Status As Integer)
Dim KillFile As String
KillFile = me!MailLocation
Kill KillFile
End Sub

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?

Deleting A Record With VB

Jun 15, 2005

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?

Deleting Records

Aug 4, 2005

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.

Deleting Records

Nov 11, 2005

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:

Deleting Tables

May 11, 2006

: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

Deleting Record After Use

May 6, 2007

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.

Deleting Lines

Jun 18, 2007

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.

Deleting Records

Jan 25, 2008

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

Deleting A Thread

Mar 14, 2008

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?

Deleting Tables

Nov 17, 2004

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.

Deleting Duplicates

Aug 1, 2006

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!
