Make-Table Query Warning Message

How to turn off the make-table query warning message.

Q:  Steve Mason wants to know how to turn off the warning message saying “X table will be deleted” before the query runs.

 

A:  Open the Options dialog (Tools|Options) and click the Edit/Find tab.  In the Confirm section there are three checkboxes that control whether you will get a confirmation for Record changes, Document deletions, or Action queries.  Uncheck the Action queries one to suppress the confirmation message when running the make-table query.

In VBA code, you can temporarily suppress warnings with this line of code:

DoCmd.SetWarnings False
