You can do it without the transaction.
The basic code is just this:
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim strSql As String
strSql = "INSERT INTO ...
db.Execute strSql, dbFailOnError
strSql = "DELETE FROM ...
db.Execute strSql, dbFailOnError
The specifics are handled by getting the SQL statements right. To do that,
create a query using any specific value as criteria, change it to an Append
query (Append on Query menu), and then switch to SQL View (View menu) to see
an example of what you need to create.
In the same way, mock up your Delete query to get the string you need for
that also.
