NB! Mohammed: have you noticed the typo?

DELETE FROM (ma) WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM NEWADSL WHERE telno==xval2)

Note the spcae between EXISTS and (SELECT)!

>I don't want to be rough but first read the help, search Solution Samples and if you couldn't find something then ask. But when you ask try to understand the code not just copy and paste and then complain that this code doesn't works. Nobody knows what you are trying ot do. We are also people and we made mistakes also (especialy me). Try to understand what is essence of the code not the exact syntax posted here. If there are/is some syntax errors try to find them by yourself (some missed brackets, some typos in words etc.). Debuger is your best friend.
