Recently had a problem with Access regarding invisible records. There are 3 linked databses: system, data, and frontend. In the data database there is a table called tempupload. This was used as a "workspace" table. I found one blank record "visible" in this table and wanted to create a method of deleting that record when done. I created a delete query, but when I ran it the first time is gave the warning: "you are about to delete 92 records". I re-oppened the table and again there was only one visible record. When I ran the query again the same message appeared about the 92 records. I tried to view the reocrds but nothing I did allowed me to see these records. When I did delete the 92 records my problem was resolved. Does anyone have any information as to what they were, how they got there and why I could not see them?
