I have some code which imports a spreadsheet into a table and then deletes some of the records which are summaries of the main records. The records are identified by having a null in the sixth field (or text "Last Date"). There is not a fixed number of record lines to delete. The code is as follows - DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE FROM ttmpLoadAllocateImp" DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel97, "ttmpLoadAllocateImp", Me!txtNGCAllocFile strSQL = "SELECT ttmpLoadAllocateImp.* FROM ttmpLoadAllocateImp" Set rstData = basRunDataObject(strSQL, adCmdText) 'Delete summary fields Do Until rstData.EOF If Nz(rstData.Fields(5), "Null") = "Null" Or Nz(rstData.Fields(5), "Null") = "Last Date" Then rstData.Delete <-----PROBLEM LINE End If rstData.MoveNext Loop rstData.Close Set rstData = Nothing When this is run I get an error -2147467259. "Key column information is insufficient or incorrect. Too many rows were affected by update". Can't find anything in Books On Line. My first questions is - Is this the correct way to delete lines in SQL? Second Question - What dooes the error mean? Third question - How can I fix it?
