Run a delete query without prompts?

111 New Member
I have fields that autopopulate so that the user wont have to type in the same info over and over. The only problem with this is that the user can keep hitting new record because this info is automatically being stored and causes a bunch of (basically) blank records in the table. I built a delete query that will delete any records that arent completely filled in. I want it to run when the user is done filling in their form (OnUnload), but i dont want them to be prompted that this query is running (so they dont think they're deleting something important). Is it possible to have a delete query run without the prompts?

Thanks!

In VBA there's a DoCmd.SetWarnin gs True/False.
Surround your query with that.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. DoCmd.SetWarnings False
  2. DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE ..."
  3. DoCmd.SetWarnings True
  4.

Have you tried?
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. DoCmd.Setwarnings = False
  2. 'Run your delete query here
  3. DoCmd.Setwarnings = True

I know the Rabbit is one. I don't know about the Fox.

So why did the Rabbit look so much like a turtle??

Oh, right, that was the Beetle ;-) LOL

I have two tables A & B and I want to delete all the records in A that are not in B. Can I do this in the query builder? It seems like a simple problem. I can easily find the records in A that aren't in B by using the query wizard to come up with a query "A without matching B". I added table A to the query builder and Query "A without matching B" joined them with the index field (Loan Number) made the query a delete query and

Is it possible to have a report with prompts/parameters, but without an underlying query? I've seen varying posts related to this, but I'm not seeing a concete answer. As I understand it, to make a report with prompts, the parameters (e.g., start and end dates) must be first defined in the report's underlying query. Thus, I am concluding: A) The Table-Report construct (without an explicit underlying query) is for basic...

Hi, I have a user that used the Query Wizard to create a query in Access. Now she claims that her master table is missing all the data that was excluded from the query. Can you create anything other than a select query using the Wizard? What do you think happened to her data? I am working remotely until Friday, so I can't get down to her office and check out what she did.

I have one table and have created a form from that table. Also, I have created a delete query. I want to but a button on the form which will delete all records from the table; however, I cannot get anything to work. I know this is probably simple for more experienced Access users. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Kevin

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
