Hi,

Does anyone know how can I permanently remove records from a DBase linked table? (linked to an Access Database, of course).

I wrote code like "delete from table" and it didn't work. Records are marked for deletion but not physically deleted.

Thanks in advance

 
Try to Run a Shell and use the Command PACK to Pack the Dbase Data out of Access.

e.g. :If you Open That file in DBASE and do the PACK command the records are gone forever. Automate this procedure with Access by running a Shell Command. Best Regards
