Solved Error 3622 - dbSeeChanges option when accessing a SQL server table

[Tea]

Hello,

I have a form (form_student) with student's information where I want to create a button with "on click" event and it should delete the record of this student from my table (that's called tb_student).

Snippet of my code

If MsgBox("Delete this student?", vbYesNo + vbCritical + vbDefaultButton2, "Warning") = vbYes Then
    If Me.Dirty Then
        Me.Undo
    End If
    CurrentDb.Execute _
    "DELETE FROM tb_student " & _
    "WHERE ID = " & Me.ID
    
    If Not IsNull(Me.form_class!IDclass) Then
        CurrentDb.Execute _
        "DELETE FROM tb_class " & _
        "WHERE IDclass = " & Me.form_class!IDclass
    End If
    MsgBox "Deleted!"
    DoCmd.Close acForm, "form_student", acSavePrompt
  End If

Form_class is a subform in my current form_student. This student is assigned to a class, so after deleting this student it should delete also from the tb_class.

The problem is when I've tried to delete a student, this error came up.

Can somebody explain what this error means and how to fix it?

Thank you

You need to add a comma followed by dbSeeChanges at the end of each sql statement when referencing tables stored in SQL Server

CurrentDb.Execute , dbSeeChanges _

I don't know if I understood correctly, I've tried this but it's not working.

    If Not IsNull(Me.form_class!IDclass) Then
        CurrentDb.Execute _
        "DELETE FROM tb_class " & _
        "WHERE IDclass = " & Me.form_class!IDclass, dbSeeChanges
    End If
    MsgBox "Deleted!"
    DoCmd.Close acForm, "form_student", acSavePrompt
  End If

CurrentDb.Execute "theSQLHere", dbSeeChanges

    If Me.Dirty Then
        Me.Undo
    End If
    CurrentDb.Execute _
    "DELETE FROM tb_student " & _
    "WHERE ID = " & Me.ID, dbSeeChanges
  
    If Not IsNull(Me.form_class!IDclass) Then
        CurrentDb.Execute _
        "DELETE FROM tb_class " & _
        "WHERE IDclass = " & Me.form_class!IDclass, dbSeeChanges
    End If
    MsgBox "Deleted!"
    DoCmd.Close acForm, "form_student", acSavePrompt
  End If

This helped! Only it deletes the record in the subform only and not also from the form_class. How can I delete it from both forms at one time, because it deletes only the class record and the student is still there, when i open the record again and delete it, it's deleted. But I want to delete the class the student is assigned to and also the student at the same time. How to do that?

Thank you

Records are stored in tables not in forms. So you can't actually delete from forms.
If you want a record to be 'automatically' deleted from both tables, then you need to set up a relationship between the tables, apply referential integrity with cascade delete
If that doesn't mean anything to you, please read my extended article Relationships & Referential Integrity
