Delete-SQL is the most efficient way to delete records from a table.

DELETE FROM MyFirstTable WHERE ItemName = SPACE(LEN(ItemName))

should do what you need.

A few notes:

1 - fields are columns in the table, you want to delete rows or records.
2 - If SET EXACT is OFF, MyFirstTable.ItemName = "" will always be .T.
3 - The code I wrote is most efficient (will use Rushmore optimization) if you have MyFirstTable indexed on ItemName
4 - You could test for EMPTY(ItemName), but you would need an index on EMPTY(ItemName) to take advantage of Rushmore optimization.
