Remarks

Operations on the object represented by this Record may fail after this method completes. After calling DeleteRecord, the Record should be closed because the behavior of the Record may become unpredictable depending upon when the provider updates the Record with the data source.

If this Record was obtained from a Recordset, then the results of this operation will not be reflected immediately in the Recordset. Refresh the Recordset by closing and re-opening it, or by executing the Recordset Requery, or Update and Resync methods.
