(Error ms access delete query using two tables 3086) Hey guys, I'm trying to build a delete query that will remove records in my main table that match any stored in my history table. The problem is that I keep getting the runtime error 3086 could not delete from specified tables following no matter how I try to build the thing: Quote: Could not delete from specified tables. (Error 3086) You tried to delete data from one or more tables, but the deletion could not be completed. Possible causes: You do not have permission to modify the table. To change your permissions assignments, see your system administrator or the table's creator. The database was opened for read-only access. The

database is read-only for one of these reasons: You used the OpenDatabase method and opened the database for read-only access. The database file is defined as read-only in the database server operating system or by your network. In a network environment, you do not have write privileges for the database file. In Microsoft® Visual Basic®, you used the Data control and set the ReadOnly property to True. To delete the data, close the database, resolve the read-only condition, and then reopen the file for read/write access. My gripe: No one else has this database, it's not open read only, and I have all the permissions I need for this thing since I built it. My delete query joins tblHistoric to tblWorkNow by account number, and should clear out everything from tblWorkNow that matches tblHistoric, but I get the above error.......any thoughts? option View Public Profile Find More Posts by option 03-16-2009, 09:57 AM #2 boblarson Former Moderator Join Date: Jan 2001 Location: Oregon, USA Posts: 32,482 Thanks: 94 Thanked 1,781 Times in 1,565 Posts Re: Could not delete from specified tables.

After I close the MS Access apps, when I re-launched the access, the syntax shows the old format (new line shifted back to old line as HEX(0D 0A) disappeared) as follows: DELETE DISTINCTROW LINKED_TABLE.*, [tblItem1].[item2], [LINKED_TABLE].[item3] FROM LINKED_TABLE INNER JOIN tblItem1 ON LINKED_TABLE.item1=tblItem1.item1 WHERE ((tblItem1.item2 = True) and (LINKED_TABLE.item3 = Forms!frmItem3!DateField)); Why does the internal SQL syntax change at each time the MS Access is launched? donames View Public Profile Find More Posts by donames 05-30-2012, 06:07 AM #2 Ken

Besides those there are no constraints. –user1466887 Jul 9 '12 at 20:32 Does any of your primary keys have relationships? –DrinkJavaCodeJava Jul 9 '12 at 20:33 No, I didn't specify any relationships when developing it. –user1466887 Jul 9 '12 at 20:38 1 You need to set up the all the selection criteria as a derived table (subquery) and then use IN or NOT IN as appropriate. I am fairly sure you won't be able to delete with that query. So DELETE FROM Table WHERE ID IN (SELECT ..) –Fionnuala Jul 9 '12 at 20:5
