Is it possible to use the TRUNCATE command in SQL statements with Access?

If not, is there a similar command I can use to clear the contents of a table but leave the structure?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.

TRUNCATE isn't supported in Access.

You could just use a delete query, something like this perhaps.

DELETE Stuff1.*
FROM Stuff1;

An alternative might be to just copy the table and only paste the structure.
