Your VBA code is trying to delete a form from the database. Is that what you
want? Where is del_Click running? Is it in the module associated with form
student?

I'm assuming that what you really are trying to do is delete the record for
that specific student. If that's the case, you need to run SQL to delete the
data from the table, not delete the form.

Dim strSQL As String

strSQL = "DELETE FROM [NameOfTable] " & _
"WHERE [NameOfField] = " & Value
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError

If NameOfField is a text field, you'd use

strSQL = "DELETE FROM [NameOfTable] " & _
"WHERE [NameOfField] = '" & Value & "'"

or

strSQL = "DELETE FROM [NameOfTable] " & _
"WHERE [NameOfField] = """ & Value & """"

If NameOfField is a date field, you'd use

strSQL = "DELETE FROM [NameOfTable] " & _
"WHERE [NameOfField] = " & _
Format(Value, "\#yyyy\-mm\-dd\#")

If you want to delete the current record from the current form then the code
might look something like

Dim tfAllowDeletions as Boolean
If Me.NewRecord = False Then
tfAllowDeletions = .AllowDeletions

If Me.AllowDeletions = False Then Me.AllowDeletions = True

DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
Me .AllowDeletions = tfAllowDeletions

Else
Me.Undo

End If 'Delete existing records only

You don't need to delete the form to delete the record it's displaying.

The access button wizard will automatically create a record delete function
for you.
