    You wrote that wrong:


    VB Code:
    1. rsTemp.Open "DELETE * FROM " & InputData, gconnMedAidBrowser, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic

    Thumbs up mendhak u genius :)

    i didnt see the SQL statement as one long string...
    i was seeing it as being processed one word at a time....
    thanks for the realization

    btw : cute frog Ö

    Guys according to standard

    DELETE * FROM tablename --- is not good

    Rather use

    DELETE FROM tablename

    There are some rdbms where the 1st statement even does not run....
    Regards
