For the non-coders it's also possible to just go into datasheet view and do a CTRL + A to select all records and press delete.&nbsp;&nbsp;If the table has dependent records--its primary key showing up as a foreignkey/lookup field in other tables--you'll have to select the relationship line and choose cascade delete in the relationships window first (of course the foreign key appearances will be deleted also).
