Delete Query -- QUESTION

[kealaz]

I want to delete from tblBUY those parts that I just cut a purchase
order for.

tblBUY does not have P_O_NO because it is before the purchase order is
cut.

I want to build a query that filters tblBUYHIST and then take ALL of
the
part numbers [PART_NO] on the resulting records and delete all records
with
matching part numbers [PART_NO] on tblBUY.

I only want to delete records from tblBUY, not tblBUYHIST.

*************************************************

Here's what I'm trying.


I have created a SELECT Query [qryDeleteBUY_a]

Field: P_O_NO
Table: tblBUYHIST
Criteria: [Enter PO No:] I'm want to change this so that it gets the
info
from strCriteria from my form [frmPO_ISSUE].

Field: PART_NO
Table: tblBUYHIST


This isolates the P.O. I enter and is working how I want it to work.



I'm also want to create a DELETE Query [qryDeleteBUY_b]

I think this will work

DELETE tblBUY.PART_NO
FROM tblBUY
WHERE PART_NO IN (SELECT PART_NO FROM qryDeleteBUY_a)


How do I translate that into the required fields in the design view of
the
DELETE query?

Field:
Table:
Delete:
Criteria:

Thank you for any help you can provide!!!

The SQL *IS* the query.

The query design grid is not the query. It's a tool to help you build SQL.

Open a new query; don't select any tables. Select View... SQL. Copy and paste
DS's query in place of the default SELECT; which is all that you will see in
the query window.

You can then go back to design view to see how it looks in the grid.

THANKS JOHN! That's exactly what I needed to know. I knew that was
the SQL query, I just didn't know how to get it into the query. I
didn't realize I needed to change the view. Thanks for posting!!! I
got it working.
