    <p>You have the right idea but VBA is quite a bit different from PHP. You can't use variables inside strings with first exiting the string, concatenating the variable, and then starting the string again.</p> <p>Where you would typically use an array called arrDev or arrVSys, we use a DAO Recordset or ADO Recordset object inside MS Access.</p> <p><strong>Updated answer to reflect the information you gave:</strong></p> <pre class="lang-vb prettyprint-override"><code>Dim db As DAO.Database Dim sSQL as String Dim arrDEV As DAO.Recordset, Dim arrVSYS as DAO.Recordset Set db = OpenDatabase("C:\SomeDatabase.accdb") sSQL = "SELECT ID, ClusterID FROM DeviceTable WHERE Distribution &lt;&gt; 'Public'" Set arrDEV = db.Open(sSQL) If Not (arrDEV.EOF and arrDEV.BOF) Then arrDEV.movefirst Do Until arrDEV.eof = True sSQL = "SELECT ID FROM VirtualSystemTable WHERE DeviceID = " &amp; arrDEV("ID") &amp; _ " OR ClusterID = " &amp; arrDEV("ClusterID") Set arrVSYS = CurrentDb.Open(sSQl) sSQL = "DELETE FROM InterfaceTable WHERE DeviceID = " &amp; arrDEV("ID") &amp; _ " OR ClusterID = " &amp; arrDEV("ClusterID") &amp; " OR VirtualSystemID = " &amp; arrVSYS("ID") CurrentDb.Execute sSQl, dbFailOnError sSQL = "DELETE FROM VirtualSystemTable WHERE DeviceID = " &amp; arrDEV("ID") &amp; " OR ClusterID = " &amp; arrDEV("ClusterID") CurrentDb.Execute sSQl, dbFailOnError sSQL = "DELETE FROM ClusterTable WHERE ID = " &amp; arrDEV("ClusterID") CurrentDb.Execute sSQl, dbFailOnError arrVSYS.Close arrDEV.MoveNext Loop End If 'Cleanup Set arrVSYS = Nothing arrDEV.Close Set arrDEV = Nothing db.close Set db = Nothing </code></pre> <p>The code is untested and could have some errors. The only thing I didn't plan for was having more than one record in arrVSYS. If that recordset will have multiple records then you'll need yet another loop.</p> <p>As you can see, you don't need to use ADO to access another Access database. But if the "outside" database is something other than Access then yes, you would need to use ADO.</p>

    2. COYou can use DAO to access another database, as long as it's an Access database. See my updated answer.

    3. COThis was exactly what I was after. There's one glitch, which I don't know if it's a foible of my system, but I needed to use arrDEV.Fields("ID").Value rather than arrDEV("ID"). Found via http://stackoverflow.com/a/6015362/5738

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
