Delete record crashes access

[frys]

Every time i attempt to delete a record access crashes

i have a main form
[Progdate]

a sub form
[Meeting ID]

and a sub sub form
[Attendance]

so long as i do not expand the sub sub form i can delete the record form th esub form

but if i expand the sub sub form it crashes

is there a way to avoid this

If you have the Master/Child links setup between the form and between the nested subforms, the following code behind the form from which you select the record to be deleted should work:

    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord

If it does not work, post the master/child links between the nested subforms and the main form.

im sorry for sounding new.

But do i put this code on the "On Delete" event or .. well i just don't know

i really appreciate the help

No, place the code behind a button on your form, as shown below:

Private Sub btnDelete_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btnDelete_Click

Dim Cancel As Integer
Dim intReturn As Integer

On Error GoTo Err_btnDelete_Click

intReturn = MsgBox("Warning: You are about to delete this record. If you don't want to do this, Click the cancel button.", vbOKCancel)

If intReturn = vbCancel Then
        GoTo Exit_btnDelete_Click
Else
         DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord 
         DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord
         Me.Refresh
End If

Exit_btnDelete_Click:
    Exit Sub

Err_btnDelete_Click:
    MsgBox "Error# " & Err.Number & " " & Err.Description
    Resume Exit_btnDelete_Click

End Sub
