Default the best way to talk to MS ACCESS

If all you're trying to do is delete data from the mdb file, there's no need
to instantiate another instance of Access.

Try simply

DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE FROM [;Database=D:\1CNC\APPS\CNC_newapp.mdb].ttools
where tid=7878 and pid=4324"

or (better in my opinion, since it doesn't pop up confirmation windows, plus
will raise a trappable error if something goes wrong)

CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE FROM
[;Database=D:\1CNC\APPS\CNC_newapp.mdb].ttools where tid=7878 and pid=4324",
dbFailOnError

Hi,

On ms excel I have a sub to send a sql command to ms access

Dim objAcc As Object
Set objAcc = CreateObject("Access.Application")
objAcc.OpenCurrentDatabase "D:\1CNC\APPS\CNC_newapp.mdb"
With objAcc.Application
.Visible = False
'.DoCmd.RunMacro ("Macro1")
.DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE FROM ttools where tid=7878 and pid=4324"
.DoCmd.Quit
End With

Is the best way to do it?

The db in question will be always open and that particular table will be
always open

Thank you all!!!
