Delete Blank Records From Table

I have a table that is created using the TransferText method.

The file being imported has column headings in it for the data, but the
first few rows after the headings are blank. The program that is generating
the flat file is putting them in and I can not remove them.

I need to remove them from the access table.

Does anyone know how would I do this?

Thanks in advance...

Run a make table query that will not include those rows. You could put a
criteria in that will not show records that have a blank in a particular
field.

Dear all, Here is my problem: There is a table "products" in my access database, since some of the products are out of date and stopped manufacture, I would like to delete those PRODUCTS from the table, but I was not allowed to do that, because "there are records related with those PRODUCTS in other tables (e.g. in table "ORDER_DETAIL").

Hi, we saw the following problem: We deleted all rows from a table B referencing table A (~500000 records). No problem, but the following try to delete all records from table A (~180000) lead to a "never ending" statement. We found out, that vacuuming table B after delete did the trick. It seems to us the database has to do scan thru deleted records on B while

I'm experiencing a very strange problem. My application is MS Access front-end and MS SQL server back-end database. I have a SQL statement that deletes records from a table after an export process.
