Come One, Come All

This lesson will look at ways to filter and archive old data. Here is a summary of the process,

 

Revise the table

This example will begin by making a COPY of the Movies table for the design work. Three new fields will be added to this table: a Yes/No field that indicates if the movie is archived, and a Memo field and an Option list that shows the archive status: damaged, lost, no sale.

 

Create a MakeTable Query

Select the archived movies and copy them to a new table. You need to proof the new table and determine if all of the records are there, and if there are any duplicates.

 

Create a Delete Query

Finally you will create another action query to delete the archived movies from the tblMovieTitles.
