hi
  I want to know what are the 3 files which help in making database ? (SQL server)

Well you could load the table into a recordset and use seek/find to locate the record 
for deletion.  If you were using SQL Server you could use cursors to loop throught the 
records but I don't think access has that sort of functionality.  I would loop through 
the records in VB and delete the first instance you find.

I am using access  ----- a trawl round t'internet has revealed nothing.

Looks like this is an incredibly difficult and highly unusual thing to want
to do :-)

Just to clarify further

I have a table like this

PartNo Description
111      Hello
123      Hello
456      World
123     Hello
123     Hello
123     Hello
123     Hello

I want to delete the first occurrence of "123      Hello" to leave

PartNo Description
111      Hello
456      World
123     Hello
123     Hello
123     Hello
123     Hello

All the SQL I have tried to date would either delete all occurrences of "123
Hello" or delete all repeated occurrences to leave

PartNo Description
111      Hello
123      Hello
456      World

  Dear Julian Holt

  if you want to do this first of all you have to specify your database
  format and after specifying that then we can offer you a way for
  doing that.
  for example may be your database format be mdb(access) or text in
  binary or other things.

  Good luck
  Mohsen.
