[AccessD] vba to Delete mult records continous form

I use icons with code attached on that form so I was hoping to modify my code to do a multi delete on selected records - 
but it looks like I will have to add the menu bar as well so that they can access Edit, Delete.

It's just surprising (and annoying) to me that something we can do thru' a menu cannot be done easily in code.

  Kath:

  I teach my users to hit the delete key after selecting the records to be 
  deleted.  I leave the warning on so that they get that box which say" You 
  are bout to delete 101,254 record.  Are you sure..."

  Is that acceptable?  Or what other approach would you like?

  Anything else, I think, would involve a different form with a multi-select 
  list box.

  Unless you put a delete field in the table and display it on the form. 
  Then, all the checked records could be deleted with a SQL statement like I 
  posted previously - "WHERE fldDelete = TRUE"

  Continuous form with record selectors...users drag to select a block of 
  records.

    How are the records being selected?

    Yes Rocky - but when the criteria is multiple selected records (not one) 
  on
    a continuous form then what does StrCriteria become??

      Kath:

      dim db as DAO.Database
      Set db = Currentdb

      db.Execute "Delete * FROM tblXYZ WHERE fldSomeField = '" & strCriteria &
    "'"

      Without the WHERE clause it will delete all the records in the table.

      RESENDING THIS AS IT DIDN'T APPEAR?

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Hi everyone - maybe I am just having a bad day but can someone tell me 
  the
      code I need in vba to do the same action as the [Records]  [Delete] 
  menu?
      ie. I have a continuous form, user selects a block of records to delete.

      If I use DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord then it only takes out the
    first
      rec.

      How can I get rid of them all? I could do it with a delete sql string if 
  I
      knew how to reference the selected records.

      TIA
      Kath
