CurrentDb.TableDefs.Delete "tablename" But that still doesn't handle the problem since if the table is in use somewhere it can't be deleted. Have you opened a recordset on the table somewhere? If so, close the recordset first.

Have you opened a recordset on the table somewhere? If so, close the recordset first. Thanks - I'll give it a shot. The reason the table is locked is because it gets assigned as the recordsource for a subform. I try resetting with recordsource = "" before dropping the table but no luck...

The current form has a subform based on TM_InvoiceItemGroup. But it isn't populated until it has processed it in that bit of code. I wonder why this has suddenly occured in a system that had previously been running fine. I had been putting Option Explicit statements in all the modules. Could that have anything to do with it?

general customer info. The form has a subform on it with a combo box where you can select products. Select a product from the combo box and the subform populates with customer-specific product info. If I open the main form and select a customer, then without doing anything else I select another customer, everything works ok. It’s when I select a product on the subform, and then try to select a different customer on the main form that I get “Run-time error 3211: The database engine could not lock table tblCustomer because it is in use by another person or process.” Can anybody shed some light on this? I’ve been confounded by it for days.

This has been in place for some time and works with no issue. The import process involves the creation of a local staging table, to which I import the received data, normalise it according to my own table structure, remove any duplication (i.e. same data imported repeatedly) and append the cleansed data to the main tables. I've just added a validation step to check for data integrity. In other words, for duplicate data, rather than simply purge it as I was doing previously, I now check to see if the data has changed in any way and prompt the user if necessary (with the option to either ignore the change or update the existing record) However, since I added this extra step, I am getting the following error message during my import process
