you can put insert, delete, or check in that first column.. insert requires 
more detail in the fields, of course, but the other two work fine all by 
themselves

Obviously, an Empty command should be used (for speed, etc), unless the
deleted records are still needed in the Deleted table?

I'd guess I've never used that syntax, but I have often used the
Delete-Query, to delete SOME of the records, and, of course, that might
sometimes result in deleting ALL the records, if they all matched the
selection parms.
