Good afternoon folks. I am going to write an Update query and a delete query to archive my completed records. I have a large main tableand four small linked tables, my question is would it be better to use a tblname.* or list out all of the fields in each of the tables? Thank you in advance for any assistance.
 
I always list out the fields. I think it is "cleaner".

Thank you Duane for the response. It has been a while sense I worked with SQL and that brain cell appears to have died. These people change their minds allot and they keep adding things, too. So needless to say I was hoping for the other answer, but I will take your advice and go the long road. Thank you again for the assistance.
