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?
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Function Backup() Dim fso As FileSystemObject Dim sSourcePath As String Dim sSourceFile As String Dim sBackUpPath As String Dim sBackUpFile As String Dim strSQL As String

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.
I have a button that adds pictures/files to a network location. So people from all over the company can do this and all pictures/files are stored in one location.
I also have a delete button, but a waning pops up and the file remains on the network.
PHP Code:
Run-time error '424': object requiredÂ
Code: My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile (Path)
where Path is a string, files location on network.
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.
We have a MS Access Application. It involves authentication as well. I split the database and created this db_be file. I deleted this. Now I'm not able to login into this Application.
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.
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
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 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?
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:

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.
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 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.
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.
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)
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!
