Request help with Delete Queries

1) I have made a select query on a table that shows all records.
2) I can change the select query to a delete query. I execute the query and
records are deleted.
3) I repopulate the table.
4) I add a second table to the query. This table is joined to the 1st as a
way to limit the records to delete (show only records where fields are equal.)
5) When I preview the records to be deleted the display is correct.
However, when I attempt to execute the query I am told that it is unable to
delete records from the table.

For some reason, Office help doesn't seem to have much (if anything) on
Delete Queries. Any suggestions?

Thanks
 
No need to reply. I found out about the "select distinct rows" property for
the delete query and now it seems to work.
