In the wrong hands, action queries are nothing but a high-tech way to shoot yourself in the foot. They commit changes (usually to multiple records), and once you’ve applied the changes, you can’t reverse them. Some database fans avoid action queries completely.
If you do decide to use action queries (and there are plenty of handy tricks you can accomplish with them), then you need to take the right precautions. Most importantly, before you use an action query, make a database backup! This step’s especially crucial when you’re creating a new action query, because it may not always generate the result you expect. To make a backup, you can copy your .accdb database file (just like you would any other file; one way is to right-click it, and then select Copy). If you don’t want to mess with Windows Explorer, then you can create a backup without leaving Access by selecting the Office button 
Manage Back Up Database (Section 1.3.1).
Tip: It’s always easier to make a backup than to clean up the wake of changes left by a rampaging action query.
Backups are great for disaster recovery, but it’s still a good idea to avoid making a mistake in the first place. One safe approach is to start by creating a select query. You can then make sure your query’s selecting the correct records before taking the next step and converting it into an action query (by choosing one of the action query types in the Query Tools | Design Query Type section of the ribbon).
The Action Query Family
Access has four types of action queries:
-
An update query changes the values in one or more records.
-
An append query selects one or more records, and then adds them to an existing table.
-
A make-table query selects one or more records, and then creates a new table for them.
-
A delete query deletes one or more records.
In the following sections, you’ll try out all of these queries.
