Afternoon All,

I have the following delete query...

DELETE Training.*, Personal.PersonID, Courses.CourseID
FROM Courses RIGHT JOIN (Training LEFT JOIN Personal ON Training.PersonID = Personal.PersonID) ON Courses.CourseID = Training.CourseID
WHERE (((Personal.PersonID) Is Null)) OR (((Courses.CourseID) Is Null));

Whenever i try and execute i get the error "Could not delete from specified tables." Any ideas on how to get my query to delete the records??

Thanks in advance

Glen
 
Surely something simple like this? (untested)
Code:
DELETE Training.* 
FROM Courses RIGHT JOIN (Training LEFT JOIN Personal ON Training.PersonID = Personal.PersonID) ON Courses.CourseID = Training.CourseID
WHERE (((Personal.PersonID) Is Null)) OR (((Courses.CourseID) Is Null));
 
No sorry i get the same error message :-(

Thanks for the response any other ideas??

Thanks in advance

Glen
 
It was the unique records setting was set to no for the properties of the query!! :)
