Ya.. I was importing data from multiple excel files and multiple tabs within them using an access application that I designed.. I have a button designed to delete specific data if I find any mistakes (so that I don't have to worry about if I deleted it or not.. you know, set it and forget it kind of thing).. The problem is that I designed the application last year and I am using it this year.. So, I had finished most of the data set up that I needed, but I had an updated sheet so I needed to delete some information.

I type in the key field in which to delete all the data from all the different tables in which it was entered, and I get an error (must of been the control I set up a while back).. I go into the code and quickly fix the dash or something that I had, and instead of looking at the actual code I will be executing I just save and go into my main form.

I click "DELETE" and I go into my summary table to make sure that everything is looking good.... ya... no data shows up.. I go into 3 or 4 tables and they are all blank.. I go into the code that I executed and it has this code DOCMD.RUNSQL ("DELETE * FROM [TABLE NAME]") for each of my tables.. so, instead of the code running the delete queries I have, I just screwed my self..

I deleted all data entered over the past 3 days into those tables...

I will have to go back and work double time and upload the data again into my tables...  Less time to work on my posture!!

ok.. good I got that off my chest..

take away from all of this:  Don't run "DELETE" button before double checking the code it will be running :)

Any of you ever do something that has made you start your work from scratch again?

I'm guessing you couldn't just "undo" the results?

I know you were asking the OP, but I had a buddy who, like me, does a little woodworking on the side.  He used to moan, "I cut the board 3 times now, and it's still too short!"

Sadly, there were a lot of people who didn't get it.....

Ya.. no such thing as "undo" in MS Access (especially when running codes like "DELETE * FROM") LOL

MS Access is much better than Excel in my opinion.. But a lot less forgiving!

Well, I guess that's what you get for using Access. Most good databases let you roll back transactions. :D

So, kind like the Titleist MB of spread sheets? Sounds like you hit one off the toe and REALLY could have used a little perimeter weighting. ;-)

Yours in earnest, Jason.

:)  yes!

All I can say is that Access did exactly what it was supposed to.. it usually does..

Almost like when you click on the Discard Draft below and then you click confirm.. no turning back!

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
