Re: [MS_AccessPros] Delete Records

 

Bill-

The Execute method works on any database object.  CurrentDb points to the current database, so the Execute method asks the current database to run the "action" query.

Thank you John.

 

What does the  "CurrentDb.Execute"   phrase do that makes the statement work?

Bill- 

 

When you want to run an "action" query in code, you need to execute it.

 

CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE * FROM GameShedule", dbFailOnError

 

or 

 

CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE * FROM GameSchedule WHERE fscEveID = 2", dbFailOnError

I am trying to create a button that will easily delete all records from a temporary table.

 

 

I have created a delete query but I want to run it from a button.  I can't get the button to see the delete query so I though about some SQL.

 

I have tried.

 

DELETE FROM GameSchedule;

DELETE * FROM GameSchedule;

 

What am I doing wrong?  I keep getting an error message  "Expected End of Statement" with the word "GameSchedule" highlighted.

 

 

 

 

Eventually I want another button that will reduce specific records.

 

DELETE * FROM GameSchedule; 

   WHERE fscEveID = 2

 

 

Thank you,
