Lisa- sgSQL = "DROP TABLE tblTempDP;" On Error Resume Next DoCmd.RunSQL sgSQL Will likely work. On Error Resume Next will ignore any error that might occur in the code. It's not a good thing to use lightly because you will never know when your code is generating an error. You should check to see if the table exists before you try and drop the table. You can query MySysObjects to see if the table exists like this. SELECT MSysObjects.Name FROM MSysObjects WHERE (((MSysObjects.Name)="tblTempDP")); Then to delete the table you can use SQL or the ADOX library like this. ------------------------------------------- Public Function DeleteTable() Dim cat As ADOX.Catalog Set cat = New ADOX.Catalog cat.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection On Error Resume Next cat.Tables.Delete "tblTempDP" cat.Tables.Refresh Set cat = Nothing End Function -------------------------------------------- -Anthony -----Original Message----- From: Green [mailto:1z@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 6:04 AM To: MSO Subject: [mso] DoCmd.SetWarnings for Access 2000 Hi everyone, I'm trying to run some code that I edited slightly that Michael Luevane kindly sent me. DoCmd.SetWarnings False sgSQL = "DROP TABLE tblTempDP;" DoCmd.RunSQL sgSQL When it gets to the 3rd line I get a warning message that the table doesn't exist. Can anyone see anything wrong with what I'm doing please?
