    Delete a workbook if it exist From Access

    Re: lete a workbook if it exist From Access I do not recommend using On Error Resume Next. You should test if the file exists, if true, then delete it. If Dir(CurrentProject.Path & "\Peer Review Report.xls" ) <> "" Then Kill CurrentProject.Path & "\Peer Review Report.xls"

    data capture form/make table query

    It would be easiest if you bound your form to your table. That way any changes to the current record in the form will be saved to record in the table when your form is bound to your table.

    Simple Form Filter

    The wizard for creating a subform should walk you through the process. I would question why you need a seperate form to add records and another form to update and delete records. You should be able to do it all with just one form.
