Question : Why do I get "Invalid Qualifier" with the following code

Hello experts, in an effort to gain a greater understanding of coding in access, I'm trying to remove all my docmd. statements. While they were handy initially, I feel they have reduced my knowledge curve. That said, please tell me what I'm doing wrong in the code below and why do I get the message "Invalid Qualifier". The DoCmd query was simply a delete everything from a table type.

Code Snippet:

Answer : Why do I get "Invalid Qualifier" with the following code

I believe this:

strSql = "DELETE tmptblWeeklyInvoice.* FROM tmptblWeeklyInvoice;"

Set db = OpenDatabase(CurrentProject.Path & "\MyComicShopTables.accdb")
strSql.Execute

Should be:

strSql = "DELETE tmptblWeeklyInvoice.* FROM tmptblWeeklyInvoice;"

Set db = OpenDatabase(CurrentProject.Path & "\MyComicShopTables.accdb")
db.Execute strSql
