How to Send Records to a Recycle Bin Instead of Deleting Them in Microsoft Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial I will show you how to create a recycle bin feature for your database, similar to Windows, so deleted records are easily restorable. You will learn how to prevent direct deletions in forms, add a recycled records button with user confirmation, and use VBA to read record data and store it in a separate table. This class covers working with recordsets, looping through fields, basic SQL, and message boxes for user interaction. This is part 1.
