    Delete duplicate records in another table

    Hi all. Thanks in advance for your help.
    I have two tables that have duplicate order numbers. I would like to compare the first table with the second and then delete the records from the second that match.
    Can I set this up in a macro and run it every day?



    Thanks,
    ermcc

    This one is best:

    or you can also use following query:

    Lets assume that you have one table name table1 and another table named table2:

    DELETE FROM table1 WHERE column1 IN (SELECT column1 FROM table2)

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
