Question posted 2011 ยท +8 upvotes

I have two tables named [Insert_Record] and [Delete_Record] in MS Access. Both tables have the same fields but one table has records whereas another table has no record.

Question: I want, whenever I delete any record from the table [Insert_Record] that entire record should automatically insert into another table, i.e: [Delete Record].

How can I accomplish this?

Access 2010 introduced event-driven Data Macros that are similar to triggers. The process described in the question can easily be done with an After Delete data macro on the [Insert_Record] table:
