"Confirm Delete") = vbYes Then
' Do the delete
Else
' Don't Do the Delete
End If

This is a very strange thing to do. Why are you filling existing records
with Null values? Why not delete the records?
But, in any case, see below for location of code

Also, instead of:
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
If you use:
CurrentDb.Execute(strSQL), dbFailOnError

It will execute faster and you will not have to set Warnings on or off.
