HI 

We have 2 pages 

1 first is type list and second is type card

If we deleting the record from list than it's first open the page (which have type card).

The question is can we delete the record from list without opening the card page? because in our case when we try to delte the record from list then first it's opening the card page then show the delete popup with button (Yes/No) if we select yes than its deleting the record.

Thanks in advance

    When you want to either quickly delete a lot of data or delete a set of data on a regular basis in an Access desktop database, a delete or an update query might be useful because the queries make it possible to specify criteria to quickly find and delete the data. Using a query can also be a timesaver because you can reuse a saved query.

    Note: Before you delete any data or run a delete query, make sure that you have a backup of your Access desktop database.

    If you want to only delete a few records, you don’t need a query. Just open the table in Datasheet view, select the fields (columns) or records (rows) that you want to delete, and then press DELETE.

    this is in many lists the default behavior. opening the card page is a security feature for the user, means a last view to check, if the record should really be deleted.

    you need a customization.

    if you delete a record using table datasheet, possible code in the delete trigger of the list/card page is not run. that can cause side effects.

    Not by standard. You need to open the card first before deleting. This is to prevent user from deleting the wrong record.
