Duplicate Records
- Thread starter Dickx
- Start date
Provided you have an autonumber field as your ID this should work:
DELETE From TblX
WHERE TblX.ID not in (SELECT MIN(ID) from TblX group by Field1, Field2, Field3...)
in query designer you can place the where clause (starting with not in) in the criteria field under 'ID'
You could always add the unique ID field, delete your dupes, and then remove it.

It's a magical time of year in Philadelphia. Eagles training camp marks the end of another brutal season of complaining about the Phillies.
