Access' version of SQL is a slight bit different from ANSI SQL. All he needs to do in his statement is change it to this:
$query="DELETE * FROM Test_Table WHERE name='franco';";
(notice the wildcard in there-- Access isn't smart enough to realize that the deletion of any information in a row automatically means deleting the entire row. I guess the original design must've intended to use delete for an update <columnname> = null.)

Subject: - Delete records in an Access DB
Hi all, I have this problem:
I want to delete records in an Access DB. I use this code:
$query="DELETE FROM Test_Table WHERE name='franco';"; // the connection parameters
$path="d:/inetpub/webs/my_site/mdb-database/" ;
$db_name="test.mdb" ;
$dsource=$path.$db_name ;
$cn_string="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" ;
$cn_string.="Data Source=$dsource;" ;
// connection
$cn=new COM("ADODB.Connection");
$cn->open($cn_string);
// object Recordset and send query by Open() metod
$rs=new COM("ADODB.Recordset") ;
$rs->open($query,$cn) ;
// clean Recordset object
$rs->Release() ;
$rs=null ;
/* close connection */
$cn->Close() ;
$cn->Release() ;
$cn=null ;
but I have this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: open() in D:\Inetpub\webs\metagenonlinecom\canc.php on line 11
Where is the problem? Is this the correct way to delete records from an Access DB? If this is a bad tecnic, can you suggest me what is the correct way?
Thanks in advance to all.
