How to Create a Query to Delete Records that are Missing Related Records in Microsoft Access
In this Microsoft Access tutorial I'm going to teach you how to create a delete query that can be used to delete records that are missing related records. You will learn about a problem that exists with delete queries that you can't use a JOIN for. We will instead have to use the IN function.

This happens quite often where my sales reps put in orders but don't finish them and don't add line items and now I've got a bunch of basically blank orders in my database.
