When you are customizing the Table Wizard or the Input Mask Wizard, there is no button in the Customize dialog box to delete a record from the Wizard. However, you can use the keyboard to select a record and delete it.

MORE INFORMATION

Use the following keys to select a record, and then delete it from the Wizard:

Press SHIFT+SPACEBAR to select the record. Note that there will be no visible effect when you press this key combination.
Press DELETE to delete the selected record. You will be prompted to confirm the deletion of the record.

The following example demonstrates how to delete a table from the Table Wizard:

Open the sample database NWIND.MDB.
From the File menu, choose Add-ins, and then choose Add-in Manager.
In the Available Libraries box, select Table Wizard, and then choose the Customize button.
In the Customize Table Wizard box, choose the Customize Tables button.
Press SHIFT+SPACEBAR to select the current record.
Press DELETE.
Choose the Cancel button so that you do not actually delete the record. To actually delete a record, choose OK.
