Track Account Balances & Transactions, Part 6

This is part 6 of my Microsoft Access Account Balances tutorial series. In this series we will build a database to track your account balances and daily transactions.

Today, we're going to construct a delete button for our account form. I prefer managing the deletion process myself rather than relying on the default Access deletion routine, so we'll accomplish this using some VBA code. We will establish relationships between our account and transaction tables to prevent users from deleting accounts that have transactions, unless they delete the transactions first. However, we will utilize our own warning and error messages instead of the default Access error messages. Providing our own messages makes the process more user-friendly.

Members will learn how to automatically reorder the list if an item's sort order value changes. Additionally, we'll create buttons to manually move items up and down the list with just a click.
