    trying to understand design from 1NF to 3NF

    Delete or Unmatched query?

    delete or unmatched? OK. Many Thanks. This has done the trick. It's just that I thought there was an easier way of doing this by dragging and dropping the ID of the second table in the query viewer.

    how to replace records with null

    Top 300 How do you do TOP 300? And what if all the telephone numbers are not in order? ie. not the TOP 300? Would I have to repeat this code for each one and how? UPDATE Sheet4 SET ISBN = ' ' WHERE ISBN='02 678 3457'; Can the telephone number data for deletion be modified more easily?
