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

Hi Alain, good to hear from you again. Here is Microsoft's advice on dealing with duplicates in your database:

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

Hope this helps,
Anthony
