How can I make MS Access to automaticly, for example every sunday in the week, delete all data(posts) in one spesific table. Lets say I have one table named Table1 and got fields sessiondID, productID and date.

I want that MS Access deletes all stored posts until todays date.

Sorry if my english is bad :)
 
Create a delete query with the criteria you need. Create a macro called autoexec that turns off warnings, runs the query, turns warnings back on, and closes the database.

Use Windows to schedule task for weekly automation.

Hello! Thanks alot for your answer. It did work like i wanted it but, when I connect to this Database using ASP will macro "autoexec" also then automaticly run at startup, or does this macro only runs when you open Access database with MS Access?
 
Only when you open MS Access. You didn't say anything about ASP in your initial post - how was anyone to know?
