i'll start with a little background. i import a text into a table in access 2000. after creating a couple of pieces of paper i copy some of the fields into another table and then export from the second table. during the process that exports i want to delete all of the records from both tables. when i run the program, everyother record gets exported and deleted. those records that aren't exported are still in my tables. i am using ADO and the texttransfer function within access 2000. does anyone have any suggestions?
