[AccessD] Finding Duplicate Records when there are more than 10 fields

[rocky smolin]

Paul:

I think that worked.  But it only identified one duplicate. I'll have to ask
the client to send me the latest back end and give me examples of duplicates
that he knows of.  Since he wants this change, I'm assuming he's seeing more
than a couple duplicates.

Next problem is to find the PKs these two (or more) so I can present them to
him in a form and he can select one to delete.

Thanks and regards,

Rocky

Rocky,

Can you not just write a bit of vba code to connect to the database and
have some sql like below run and return the results to a recordset

select f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, f6, f7, f8, f9, f10, f11, f12, f13, f14, f15,
f16, f17, f18, f19, f20, f21, f22, f23, f24, f25, f26, f27, f28, f29, f30
from yourtable
group by f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, f6, f7, f8, f9, f10, f11, f12, f13, f14, f15,
f16, f17, f18, f19, f20, f21, f22, f23, f24, f25, f26, f27, f28, f29, f30
having count(*)> 1
