Can I Delete ALL records from multiple tables?
 
Sort by date Sort by votes
Not unless they are related and have cascade delete selected.
Otherwise you have to delete records one table at a time.

could I use a cascade delete trigger ?
Yes, if the table are related and the RelationShips are properly set with referential integrity enforced.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Not sure I understand, however I dont think the tables are related...
I'm trying to automate the deletion of "Test" data across my DB

Why not simply write a VBA procedure with some DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE FROM ... WHERE ..." calls ?
