Hi,
I'm trying to delete say 4000 records, out of total 5000 records. I want to keep 1000 records based on the ID.
How can I write the SQL DELETE query, so that only 1000 records remain based on the query?
Thank you in advance for your great help.
regards,

I am in the process of designing a sports database and have come across a problem that I can not seem to fix.
I have 3 tables that are linked, they are Customer, Program (this is the customers exercise program) and Health (the customers health records).
I have tried to set up a query that deletes a customer if a command button is clicked. This works find as long as the table I am deleting the data from is not linked to another table.
However when I try to delete a customer record it says that I can't as the data is linked and I have to delete the relationships first.
The only way I can think of doing this is to setup a query that deletes all the data in each table at the same time. I can not get this to work though.
Is this a problem that can be solved or will I have to change the way my relationships are set up?
I would appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks
Is there a way to select several rows of records in a datasheet view of a table and delete all of the selected records?
Every time I try to delete more than one record at a time, I get the following message: "The Micorsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time."
Then it will let me delete one record out of the selection.
I am the only one in that particular table at the time I am trying to delete the record.
Thanks in advance for your help...
If I want to delete multiple records (select more than a record and right-click delete) how can I achieve this
given the following with one record:
Private Sub Form_Delete(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.RunSQL "Delete * from Trial where TrialID =(Text40)"
Me.Refresh
End Sub
PS:- I am trying to solve the cannot update /delete because of "modifications due to multiple base tables "issue and I am not sure if attempting to add in the On delete event would fix it (instead of an instead of delete trigger since it would be useless to setup triggers with one table to update ). I am thinking of doing the same with update in the after update event.
I need developing a new delete query criteria to add onto existing delete duplicate queries for deleting duplicate values. I need the new delete duplicate query to take precedent over the other two so that those values retained in the first query are kept retained after going through the second and third delete queries. Attached is a document laying out the request.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to create a query that will delete records that match several fields from another table. This is complicated by the fact that one of the fields will be in one of 3 columns.I have attached a test database (no real details), all Sheet2 entries need to be deleted from Sheet1.
What I need to do is delete records that have the same 'Surname' and 'DPS' value but also the same 'Line5' value from Sheet2 in 'Line3' or 'Line4' or 'Line5' in Sheet1.The 'Surname' and 'DPS' are no problem, it's the variable position of the third field. I think I could do it in three separate queries but it would definitely be better in one.
I have a table InvPrice and Updated Pricing
Need to delete all records from InvPrice that Match UpdatedPricing
InvPrice.StockCode = UpdatedPricing.StockCode
InvPrice.PriceCode = UpdatedPricing.StockCode
I have tried something like this...
Dim dbs As DAO.Database, sql As String, rCount As Integer
Set dbs = CurrentDb
sql = "DELETE * dbo_InvPrice Inner Join (dbo_InvPrice Inner Join UpdatedPricing on dbo_InvPrice.StockCode = UpdatedPricing.StockCode ) ON on dbo_INvPrice.PriceCode = UpdatedPricing.PriceCode "
dbs.Execute sql, dbFailOnError

Hi, I am designing a database for a basic payroll function. So far everything was going well until i started to design forms. I cannot delete multiple table entries from one table that connects two tables. This situation is as such:Employee Table: contains entries as follows:ID: Autonumber (PK)First Name Last Name PayCategory (Salary or Hourly) (List Box)PayInfo Table: contains entries as follows:ID: Autonumber (PK)Employee Name (Text)Pay RateThe relationship of these 2 tables is a one to many relationship; where the ID from Employee Table is connecting to Employee Name in PayInfo Table.When i created a form using these 2 tables and added a delete button to it, the entries from Payinfo table get deleted when i click the delete button, but not from the employee table.I have tried everything i can think of :( . What am i doing wrong? Can someone please guide me in the right direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi there.
I'm trying to archive records by using append and delete queries that span accross 12 tables.
the VBA will execute them all. However, I have a junction table near the end; It will be the Junction table, then a parent then a child table. I can get the junction table keys deleted but after that I can't get the Parent and the child table records deleted.
Does anyone know how to do this. the parent table can't delete any records because I've deleted the junction table keys first but if I delete the parent table keys access obviously wont let me because it's leaving orphan records.
I'm sure there's a way to do this. hope someone can help me.
Thanks.
I have a query of records that are not related to records is the secondary table. I want to delete these records but when I select the records and click delete I get the confirmation to delete answer to delete them and all the records disappear. When I run the query again, all the records are still there. Does anyone know what is happening? This is an access front end that connects to a SQL server database.

I have a survey form that has the questions on a subform based on the response to one of the survey demographic questions (via a query based on that response). The answers to the questions are on a sub-sub form. How can I get the program to delete the answers that were entered (they are related to the primary survey form with a common ID number) if the user changes the survey response.
In other words, if the user of SurveyID 5 decides that they want to fill out the list of blue questions rather than red questions, how can I delete all the answer blue records for SurveyID 5? Right now, it will display the red questions if you change to red and enter red answers, but the blue answers remain in the database, creating 2 sets of answers for SurveyID 5.
Any suggestions...if this is not too confusing?
Thanks!

View 7 Replies View RelatedGood evening,
I am experiencing a problem with the delete buttons I have added into my forms. I have 3 different forms that operators use, I added a delete button using the wizard on each form to delete the data if the user makes a mistake. I have allowed deletes in the form properties. My problem is that the button only works on one of the forms. I have checked the code and it is the same on all 3 forms.
The record is not deleted, all that happens is that the vertical bar down the LHS of the form flashes black, and thats about it
Private Sub Command52_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command52_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 6, , acMenuVer70
Exit_Command52_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command52_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command52_Click
End Sub
Any thoughts?
The only difference is that one button is called Command52 and the other one is called Delete

I am creating a web database where users submit entries using an online form. When they submit the entry, I am saving the entry date and time in a column called Timestamp. What I need to figure out is if there is a way to create some sort of expiration date, based on the Timestamp, that will automatically delete a record after it is 7 days old. Is there a way to do this? Thanks so much for any help that you can give.
