Hi!
Can anyone help!
On exit of a form, does anyone know if I can remove all data from a table?
Thanks.
 

MattBeas:
I'm fairly sure you can delete all the record in the table, but if you are going to add and delete records on each use you may need to compress the database regularly to keep it from growing too large. It is my understanding that when you delete you just delete the reference to the records but the database still stays the same size. Someone else may want to verify that this is the case.
