to execute a delete query

onto my form and then link it to the query
in the event wizard but my delete query
does not show up in my list of queries
help

When you use the command button wizard, select "misc" and then "run query". If your query is not in the list, then it is not saved as a query. Maybe it was saved as an SQL? If all else fails, re-created the query.
If it is a multiuser db with security, you might want to set the "run permissions" property of the query to "owner". That way it won't keep prompting throughout the query.
