Also, how would one go about integrating your code with an Access2007 app. Thanks, Glynn Any thoughts on how your code would perform compared to using a delete query to a linked SharePoint table in an Acess2007 app, which is terribly slow.

I am not a programmer either. So what i did is that i imported the list into access2007. Then i delete all the items using an access delete query pointed back at sharepoint list and synchronized it back to Sharepoint. Hope this helps. Yogie. I am not a programmer either.

But i'm running into an issue, it takes bout 2 minutes to purge all the items. strange thing is it seems to just be appending more and more records instead of clearning out the 1000 items and adding 1000 new ones. Any one find a workaround? maybe break it up into 2 timer jobs: one to delete the files then one to add new ones?

Otherwise the ProcessBatchData call does nothing. Note also that when the items that you are deleting are in a document library that you also need:

I'm guessing this could speed up the delete even more? Is there a way to delete the items without SP copying them to the Recycle Bin? I’m guessing this could speed up the delete even more?
