Send Records to Recycle Bin in MS Access Part 2

In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a Recycle Bin system in Microsoft Access that allows you to save deleted records from any table for future recovery. We will design a Recycle Bin table, set up the code to store deleted record data including the username and deletion date, and update your forms to send records to the Recycle Bin instead of permanently deleting them. This is part 2.
