I have a list of itmes and sales quantities. Each item will appear multiple
times becuase the quantity will be different. I want to be able to delete
the max quantity associated with each item, how do I do that?

If I run a query and select Max quantity, it does not allow me to delete the
max qty.

Thanks,
Sean
 
First back up your data, then try using DMax in the query

In SQL:

DELETE TableName.*
FROM TableName
WHERE TableName.[quantities] =DMax("[quantities]","[TableName]","Item=" &
[Item])

As Criteria for quantity:
DMax("[quantities]","TableName","Item=" & [Item])


If the Item field is text then use
DMax("[quantities]","TableName","Item='" & [Item] & "'")


Make sure that the table name and fields name are correct
