Process to modify multiple queries simultaneously

[Guitarzann]

Greetings,

I have 10 DELETE queries set to remove data based on the MONTH field. The
month to be deleted is stored in the Criteria. My question is, is there a
query function where I can change the criteria each month for the 10 queries
in a single step instead of having to manually go into each query and reset
the month?

Thanks for your help!

You've described a "how" (10 DELETE queries, ...) but not "what" (what data
structure are you working with?).

By the way, a field named "MONTH" will likely cause Access to get confused
.... "Month" is a reserved word.

If you'll describe your data structure a bit further, and provide an
example, folks here may be able to offer more relevant suggestions.

Thank you gentlemen for your input.
Dale, I found an idea inside what you were saying. Being I already have
hundreds of combo box references already in my end user form I simply added
one to my Admin form where I was able to create a pointer in the Criteria
that references that Combo box.

Jeff, you lost me on data structure. Sorry. I am dangerous enough with
Access to break things yet naive enough not to know that it was broken.

Access is a relational database product. In a database, it all starts with
the data.

If you were working with a (grossly oversimplified) registration database,
your table structure might look something like:

tblStudent
StudentID
FName
LName
DOB
... (other student-specific info)

tblClass
ClassID
ClassTitle
ClassDescription

trelRegistration
RegistrationID
StudentID
ClassID
RegistrationDate
...

What's your data structure look like?
