Hi all, it seems a tricky one to me.... I would like to delete some records of a table where the contitions comes from an other table. The trouble is, you can not delete if there are several tables involved. I try these SQL statements which both didn't worked. DELETE xlist.* FROM xlist, xtree WHERE xlist.entry = 59 AND xtree.tablename = 'adressen' AND xtree.id = xlist.list; DELETE FROM xlist WHERE id = (SELECT xlist.id FROM xlist, xtree WHERE xlist.entry = 59 AND xtree.tablename = 'adressen' AND xtree.id = xlist.list); Any ideas how to write a statement like these or similar? thanks Thomas
