Deleting Records In Notes Databases From VBA

[HaydenMB]

Hi,

I have an Access DBase that records all our European shipments that exports the data to a Notes DBase that has a Web application built ontot hat.

Currenty we have to export the data from Access, delete the current Notes data before replacing it with the new output.

But I have replaced that with a dynamic link from the database that only adds, updates and deletes the information automatically in the background.

The problem is I cannot get the procedure to delete old records. I can find out which records are to be deleted and the below code does that and appends the field "My_Order_ID" to "tbl_Notes_Published_Remove". Does anybody have any idea how I can the go on to delete this?

Thanks in advance
Hayden

Incoporate this Delete Action Query SQL into your code to delete the records from your table:

Delete A.* FROM tbl_Notes_Published_Data as A where A.IPF_Order_ID IN (Select B.Notes_ID FROM tbl_Notes_Published_Remove as B);

Post back and let me know how this works.

Hi,

thanks for the advice I managed to solve the problem with the following two lines of code...


Set doc = vw.GetDocumentByKey(strNotesID)
doc.Remove (True)


Cheers,
Hayden
