I am getting the message "Could not delete from specified tables" when I try to run a simple delete query.
This query returns 1 row when I run it as a select query.
ANy ideas?
 
Sometimes I find I need to start my query with DELETE DISTINCTROW, usually if it involves joins. Have you tried this?

Good Luck,

Alex

Ignorance of certain subjects is a great part of wisdom
 
Any chance you could post the SQL code ?

Hope This Helps, PH.
