Delete Query

[wh00t]

Greetings

I have a delete query which works fine, but I would like to get rid of the two messages that come up when it's run, 1st message, you are about to delete blah blah blah, 2nd message changes not retrievable blah blah blah. Any ideas?

Are you activating the delete query through code or a macro?

Either way you can switch off the warnings.

In code

DoCmd.setwarnings false

Your delete query code

DoCmd.setwarnings true

It's important that you activate the warning again at the end of the code.

You can do the same in the Macro but I can't remember how!

thanks for the reply but could you clarify how to do this?

DoCmd.setwarnings false

Your delete query code - do I enter the SQL code here? or put DoCmd.OpenQuery?

DoCmd.setwarnings true

Hi

"Your code here" would be whatever you have now that triggers the query. You just need to put the DoCmd.SetWarnings just above and just below whatever you have in place just now.

Thanks

Dawn

You want Docmd.SetWarrnings False at above and Docmd.SetWarrnings True below.
