Anthony: Duplicates

Hi Anthony,

Could you please send us a procedure that we could use to remove duplicates contained in a database?

I am not only interested in finding duplicates. I also would like to be able to remove the relevant records.

I thank you in advance for your help.

Alain

...and here is a real-world example which shows you the sort of hoops you'll have to jump through:

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Access tip:

Space marks

It is good practice not i to have space marks for field names as this can lead to problems when using queries or VBA code. It is much better to use an underscore charcter to represent spaces in field names
