Invalid use of Null
Please help me!

On the first delete, try removing the tbl_physical_main.[Material Number] from the delete section of the query.

Null))"|||

When you come upon these types of problems, prind out the commands that you are trying to execute without executing them. Then format them in a more readable manner, like:

DELETE tbl_physical_main.*,
tbl_physical_main.[Material Number]
FROM tbl_physical_main
WHERE (((tbl_physical_main.[Material Number]) Is Not Null))

DELETE tbl_noDataForTag.*
FROM tbl_noDataForTag

DELETE tbl_SAPmaterials.*
FROM tbl_SAPmaterials

Then try parsing/running them in SSMS or QA. The first problem is the bolded text. You delete from tables, not from columns. So:

DELETE tbl_physical_main
FROM tbl_physical_main
WHERE (((tbl_physical_main.[Material Number]) Is Not Null))

DELETE tbl_noDataForTag
FROM tbl_noDataForTag

DELETE tbl_SAPmaterials
FROM tbl_SAPmaterials

I would lose the superfluous parens too:

DELETE tbl_physical_main
FROM tbl_physical_main
WHERE tbl_physical_main.[Material Number] Is Not Null

I can't see any reason for the message (you should have gotten syntax errors) so you should be good.
