Hi John: You can not delete on 2 or more tables simultaneously, in a single sequel statement just like you can not add to 2 or more tables... without coding that is.... or using cascading deletes... forget I said that!

Yet if I turn it back into a select query I can highlight records and delete them. Any ideas why? John W.
