After runing an append query I want the (from) table to be removed to help
prevent creating duplicate records the next time the query is run.
Do you want to *remove the table itself* - all the data *and* the structure?
Or do you just want to empty the table, deleting all the records which were
added?
I'd prefer the latter, which can be done easily using a delete query
DELETE * FROM sourcetable;
or, better, to prevent deleting records which didn't append
DELETE sourcetable.*
FROM sourcetable
INNER JOIN targettable
ON sourcetable.primarykeyfield = targettable.primarykeyfield;
