Deleting Duplicate (but Not Similiar) Records
Hi, I currently have a table in Access that contains over 2000 records, with a total of 20 fields (although some records do have null values for certain fields). Some of these records are nearly identical to one another and differ only in one or two fields. Others, however, are exact duplicates. Is there any way I can quickly go through the table and delete those records which are duplicates but, at the same time, ensure that those which are only similiar aren't deleted? Thanks for any help!

Qry Results Show Duplicate Records, Records Are Not Dup In Table.
I have built a qry that initially shows the correct information. For example. tblContent has 289 records with a Type = Class. I built a Query to select from tblContent Type = Class and I get 289 records. I add additional criteria of Progress <>"Not Scheduled", I then get 206 records. I then add additional criteria Last Name <>"Demo" And <>"Care" And <>"Support". This brings up 200 records, but the query appears to duplicate each record 3 times. I do not have 3 of the same types of records. The SQL Statement is below SELECT tblProfile.LoginName, tblProfile.FirstName, tblProfile.LastName, tblProfile.Organization, tblProfile.CostCenter, tblContent.Title, tblContent.Type, tblContent.Code, tblContent.[Date Assigned], tblContent.[Date Started], tblContent.[Last Accessed], tblContent.Progress, tblContent.[Date Completed] FROM tblProfile INNER JOIN tblContent ON tblProfile.LoginName = tblContent.LoginName WHERE (((tblProfile.LastName)<>"Demo" And (tblProfile.LastName)<>"Care" And (tblProfile.LastName)<>"Support") AND ((tblContent.Type)="Class") AND ((tblContent.Progress)<>"Not Scheduled")); The qry is named qryPhysical Class. I have provided the link to view the database. Can you help me? http://briefcase.yahoo.com/turnerbkgabrobins Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Deleting Records
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
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 Records
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 Certain Records Using SQL
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. DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * from participantTable" Thanks in advance

Deleting Records And A One To One Relationship.
Hello all, 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.

Db Deleting Records From A Table
Hello. 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? Thanks.

Deleting Records From Table
I have a simple form with a subform on it (see enclosed Access 2000 Database). I'm trying to add/change/delete records from table: Component Name. Adding and changing records is not a problem but deleting is. It only deletes the value of the field "Interative Component Name" and not the entire record. I have my joins defined properly on the tables. What am I missing? I wish this Access stuff was easier to learn. Any help/clues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sue

Deleting Records In A Subform
I have a "display only" subform that is updated by a popup form. If I add or amend an entry the details of the changes are displayed immediately in the display window by requerying the form "afterupdate". However, I have a delete button on my popup form which will delete a record but replaces it with the word #deleted in each of its fields. The #delete will only disappear once I have moved to another record which I don't want to do. Can any one tell me why the amend/insert update works well but the delete behaves in this way. How can I set up the delete function to function and remove the #deleted message without moving to another record. I have tried adding a save button but this doesn't fix it. Thankyou

Look Up Form, But No Deleting Of Records?
Hi There, I have a form with a search field for an unique field, that looks up records in the table that belong to that unique field. See Code: Private Sub cboLastName1_AfterUpdate() On Error Resume Next Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQL As String cboLastName1.SetFocus If cboLastName1.Value > 0 Then strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tbl24HRPolicies WHERE AutoNumber = " & cboLastName1.Value Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL) If Not rs.BOF Then Me.ID = rs("AutoNumber") Me.Prefix = rs("PolicyNumber") Me.FirstName = rs("DateReceived") Me.MiddleName = rs("Comments") Me.LastName = rs("ClientsName") Me.Suffix = rs("ShopID") Me.NickName = rs("Nickname") Me.Title = rs("ActivePolicy") End If rs.Close Set rs = Nothing db.Close Set db = Nothing End If The fields, that take content based on that search field, are unbound. I've added the delete button, but it's not working, because they are unbound. Is there no way to delete records with this form??

Deleting New Records On Subforms
In the attached mdb, is there a way to avoid the RecordSource of the subform being incremented by one day every time you open the main Dezzo form? Try opening and closing the Dezzo form a few times; you'll see records being added to the g1dez and g2dez tables. I'm using the following code in the On Current procedure of the subform to remove the record that's been added to the subform RecordSource Dim cmd1 As ADODB.Command Set cmd1 = New ADODB.Command With cmd1 .ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection .CommandText = "DELETE FROM g2dez" & _ " WHERE giorno = #" & _ Format(Me.Parent.Form.CGior, "mm/dd/yyyy") & "#" .CommandType = adCmdText .Execute End With Set cmd1 = Nothing but why then does the RecordSource still retain that record?

Deleting Records In Column
I'm trying to delete just ONLY the records inside of the column, Not the whole ROW. But I just don't get it. This is what I used. DoCmd.RunSql "DELETE tblMasterProfileSheet.QTY FROM tblMasterProfileSheet" Everytime when I execute that script, it's deleting the whole row. I just want to delete records inside of the QTY column, not the ROW.

Deleting Matching Records From Another Table
Hi Apologies if there is a previous post that answers this - I've looked, but can't find anything that works. I have two tables with identical structures. tblA contains a subset of the records on tblB, with identical values on all fields except ID. I need to remove from tblB all records appearing on tblA. I thought the following would work: DELETE tblB.* from tblB INNER JOIN tblA ON tblB.Field1 = tblA.Field1 AND tblB.Field2 = tblA.Field2 AND tblB.Field3 = tblA.Field3... but I get "Could not delete from specified tables". What am I doing wrong? Or is there an easier way? Dave
