If oConn is your connection object then
lcSQL = "delete mytable where mykey = " + STR(myvalue)
lnResult = oConn.Execute(lcSQL)
should do it. However, as you know, this only marks the record for deletion. I seem to recall a thread about issuing a PACK via ODBC. You might want to search for it.

"It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons." - Douglas Adams
