i have a dbcombo on a form and wish to use it to delete a user. Now everything works fine except for the deleterecord function that i have. Can someone suggest what is wrong with my code :
Dim mySQL As String

If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to delete the selected record?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, App.Title) = vbYes Then

mySQL = "DELETE * FROM [Password] WHERE PassID = DBCAccounts2.text"

pDatabase.Execute mySQL

End If

now it gets stuck at pdatabse.execute mysql
thanx in advance for anyone who helps

I don't know if you made a typo when posting your code, but if you haven't, then your query may not work because you are searching for an entry in your passID field equal to mytextboxname.text.

Try something like ..

"Delete * .... WHERE passID = '" & _ +myTextBox.Text & "'"

So you process the actual string in the textbox and not the name of the textbox in the query.

PS. If it was a typo, please resubmit so I can reconsider the problem, preferably without the typoes.

Try just "Delete From...." No * should be required.
