Delete query with multiple tables and left join

[Jesse Jones]

Can someone please help me with this SQL? I am very ignorant, but am trying to learn! lol

I am trying to delete the records in tblMinsitries where this criteria is met. This works as a select query, but not as a delete query. Please help!

SELECT *
FROM tblMinistries LEFT JOIN tblCallLog ON tblMinistries.tblMinistries_ministryID=tblCallLog.tblCallLog_ID
WHERE (((tblCallLog.tblCallLog_dateStamp)<>tblMinistries.tblMinistries_lastAccessedDate And tblMinistries.tblMinistries_lastAccessedDate Is Not Null)) Or (((tblCallLog.tblCallLog_dateStamp) Is Null And tblMinistries.tblMinistries_lastAccessedDate Is Not Null));

What error are you receiving?
I suspect something about related records?
You'll need to either find and delete those records first or change the table relationships to allow cascade deletions as-well-as the cascade updates in the enforcement section.


To confirm this we may need to see the relationships between the involved tables too. You can either type them as a list (for an example, see my post #28 in thread Crosstab on Three tables) or you can do a screen shot and post the cropped down picture ( as I've done in post #8 in Many-to-Many-to-Many Relationship

Thank you for the help. I have since realized a design modification that would make this much more efficient and not require this query at all.

Thank you!!!!
