suppose i want to delete record # 4, then rest of the records has to be updated
5 should be 4 and so on.. i have my sql statement
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. UPDATE MemberData SET Seniority = Seniority-1
  2. WHERE (((Seniority)>[]));
i cant figure out what i should put instead of []. becuase i have to specify the deleted record and then update the records. so what i should put instead of [], so i wont get input message. everytime i delete record and click update. i get input message in where i have to specify what number i have deleted. is there any way i can specify my current deleted record instead of [].and rest of the records updates automatically.

thanks

Try :
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. UPDATE MemberData
  2. SET Seniority = Seniority-1
  3. WHERE Seniority>4;
The value here would be the value of the Seniority field of the record just deleted.
