Ladies and Gents,
I have a system that tracks individual's records in several areas, and each of these areas has a source table. When this person leaves the organization, I have append queries that archive his/her records into corresponding separate tables. How can I set up a Delete query to delete an individuals records from th main tables after they are appended to the archives? The criteria for each person is their social security number. I tried setting up a select query with the SSN in a "Master Del Table" and joining this to the other tables. I received all types of error messages. Basically, when a person leaves, I want to copy their data and then remove it from the operating system. I'm still just a tech user at this point, so I appreciate your guidance. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
