Send Records to Recycle Bin in MS Access Part 3

In this Microsoft Access tutorial I will show you how to create a generic Recycle Bin function to handle deleted records for any table in your database. We will cover moving your existing code to a global module, making it reusable by adding parameters for the table name, primary key field, and ID, updating your form buttons, and ensuring the active form refreshes after sending a record to the Recycle Bin. This is part 3.

In the extended cut, we will learn how to restore deleted records from the Recycle Bin back into your main tables, similar to using the Restore feature in the Windows Recycle Bin. I will show you how to add a Restore Record button to your form and explain the process to move the data from the recycle table back to its original location.
