Need Insight to Delete Query Method

Having searched the archives regarding a Delete Query, I found nothing
specific to my need, although there seems to be a plethora of ideas
and suggestions on queries in general. I have used Delete Queries
based on date selection parameters and those have performed fine, but
perhaps a parameter is not what I should use for the following.

Simply, I need to provide a method by which to query two fields and
delete all records associated with a specific Reference number and
date, i.e., RefID 545, delete all records with RefDate: 2/10/2004.
Well, more exactly, to provide a RefID, that will display all records
grouped by like date and from the selection to choose a group of
records by specific date to delete.

Any suggestions or ideas would be welcomed. Thanks, Dalan

DELETE * FROM tblTable1 WHERE tblTable1.RefID =545 And
tblTable1.RefDa te=#2/10/2004#;

This should delete all records that have the RefID 545 and the RefDate
2/10/2004. If the date isn't in US format, you may need to format it in US
format for the query to work properly.

Thanks for the suggestion Wayne. I'll give it a go later today,
although I will probably have a couple of follow up questions since
this effort is in part related to a similar companion query. Dalan

The .NET 2.0 documentation states the following: When using a DataSet or DataTable in conjunction with a DataAdapter & a relational data source, use the Delete method of the DataRow to remove the row. The Delete method marks the row as Deleted in the DataSet or DataTable but does not remove it. Instead when the DataAdapter encounters a row marked as Deleted, it executes its DeleteCommand method to delete the row at the data source. The...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
