[AccessD] Coding for backing up deletes

Paul,

Create a "deleted" flag in the table.  When the user does the delete, mark
the record as deleted.  The form only displays records with the deleted flag
= false.  You might want to make the deleted flag a date field set to null
initially, then set to the data (and even time if needed) of the delete.
Now you can run code that really deletes data (or archives it) that is
deleted longer than X days ago.

Any of our craftsfolk ever coded for something like this please?

The user wants to delete a file in a table. She goes to a form, and finds
the record. She clicks a button and the record is 'deleted' - only really it
goes into a waiting backup table ... just in case. 

Expert guidance would be appreciated.

Cheers paul

But XP, Pro or otherwise, is 2002, not 2003.  I wasn't clear on which
version of Office you were talking about.

Charlotte:

It appears to me that the only difference between the "Home" and
"Professional" editions of Office XP is that the "Professional" version
includes Access.  (The "Home" and "Student" versions do not include
Access.)

What is Office XP 2003 when it's at home?  Office XP is 2002 and 2003 is
something else entirely.

I've run across a deal on "Microsoft Office XP 2003 Professional Edition"
(Upgrade Version) which some of you might find interesting.  Go to
Amazon.com's "Software Store" and you'll find the above product available
for a price of $269.99.  This may not be the best price available for the XP
Professional (upgrade version) of Office, but what makes this deal really
interesting is the following "Special Offer" which Amazon is attaching to
orders placed in the next day or so:


Special Offer: Receive a promotional certificate for $50 off a future
Amazon.com purchase when you spend $250 in our Electronics and Software
Stores. Offer valid through August 1, 2004. (Applies only to products sold
by Amazon.com. Does not apply to products sold by third-party merchants and
other sellers through the Amazon.com site.) Here's how.


At $269.99, "Office XP 2003 Professional Edition" tops the $250.00 threshold
by just under $20.00 - plus you can get free "SuperSaver" shipping because
the order total exceeds $25.00.  It must be a good deal, because I noticed
that this [upgrade version] of Office is currently at 45 on Amazon.com's
real time sales ranking.  (I was looking at the upgrade version of Office XP
Professional tonight at a CompUSA store.  CompUSA's store price was
$329.99.)

I have been considering the upgrade for quite some time, but this deal
clinches it.  (I just ordered my copy from Amazon.)  If interested, you'll
have to act fast - this offer expires today!
