I have created a table with a query from a much larger table in my database and now I want to delete the selected items from the entire database. Is there any way to create a delete query using two tables and just tell it to delete the 66 items in the smaller table from the 700 in the larger table? If there's not a query that will do it, is there any basic code that will work. I do not know code, so I would need some basic instruction on how to write it. Thank you for any help you can offer.

I think I have your answer - here's the design for two tables
named Order_Extract and Order, both containing the exact same layout:

Column Names
 - ORDER_ID, Long
 - ORDER_DATE, Date/Time
 - SHIP_DATE, Date/Time

Assuming that you want to delete all entries from the Order
table that match in the Order_Extract table, here's the SQL that will do that:

DELETE FROM Order
WHERE ORDER_ID IN
(SELECT ORDER_ID FROM Order_Extract)

Let me know if you'd like to have the VBA code to do it
as well.

Hope that helps.
