Disposing of Old data

Hi,

I was just wondering is there a function in Access 2000 that allowes
it to automatically scan the data to see if, after a set period of
time, it is deleted.

Thanks guys and girls

There is not something that does this automatically, because of the network
of relationships that usually underlies the data structure in Access.

What was the reason you needed to do this? There are some valid reasons to
do this, but unless your tables contain millions of records it may not be
useful.
