Hello, I have a project where I have an Appointment table (ApptDis)
consisting of the fields
ApptDate; ApptSheet; ApptID; (&) Path. There is a form with this query as
Data source.
I'd like to put a "housekeeping" combo box control on the form with all 12
months displayed, when the user selects a month, the query criteria is
updated and all the old records from that month are deleted.
SQL view of the query is:
DELETE ApptDis.ApptDate, ApptDis.ApptSheet, ApptDis.ApptID, ApptDis.Path
FROM ApptDis
WHERE (((ApptDis.ApptDate)=[Form]![cboADMonth]));
This doesn't work because of the ApptDate field formatting
(10/1/2007;10/2/2007 etc)
The command wizard won't build a button for "delete queries".
Is there an expedient way to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Nevermind!
I figured it outmyself by using an unbound form (DeleteAppts) and a text box
(Text9) with a short date input mask and the following:

DELETE ApptDis.ApptDate, ApptDis.ApptSheet, ApptDis.ApptID, ApptDis.Path
FROM ApptDis
WHERE (((ApptDis.ApptDate)<[Forms]![DeleteAppts]![Text9]));

Sometimes just writing out the question helps with the solution.
Thanks Anyway!
