Hi.
I have a table being created in MS Access from a query.
The table returns all the data I want in my query based
on the criteria I set. Occasionaly one cell/field in the
table is blank, (Beacuse the original table has a blank
field). Does anyone have some simple code I can run on
the 'Maketable' in the background that will delete the
row or record that has 'nothing in flield 2.

example here
Field 1 field2 field 3
2/5/04 66% 25%
2/5/04 76% 18%
2/5/04 16%
2/5/04 33% 10%

record 3 is the one I want to delete because field 2 is
blank.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you create a query that identifies the row with a Null in field2 (are you
certain it isn't a zero-length string?), you are cleaning up after the fact.

If you are adding rows to the table to start with, why not exclude rows
where field2 is Null?
 
Thank you so much. I did not think of that. I should eb OK
now. I appreciate your help.
