Hi all.
Sorry, this is probably a really simple one but I'm having some difficulty with it, and don't have much time to devote to it right now.
I need to find all the records which have duplicates (on two fields) in another table. In Access 2003, the "Find duplicates wizard" will produce a query to list duplicates within the one table, but what about when they're in a different one?
In other words, I want to select all records in table T1 who have values in fields F1 & F2 which are duplicated in table T2 (same fields).
So far I have tried throwing together a query in the designer, and created a field there "[UniqueValue]:[F1] & [F2]". In the criteria I put "In (Select ([F1] & [F2]) AS [UniqueValue] From T2)". Have tried running this, but don't know whether it works. It has been running for half an hour or so, and I don't know how long it might take. I'll have to try it with a smaller number of records (currently millions in both tables), but any pointers would be appreciated.

SELECT F1, F2
FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2
ON (Table1.F1=Tabl e2.F1 AND Table1.F2=Table 2.F2);
SELECT F1, F2
FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2
ON (Table1.F1=Tabl e2.F1 AND Table1.F2=Table 2.F2);
Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
I gave it a shot. :)
It worked like a dream, and I have now modified it to make a Delete query, which is what I had in mind.
Thanks heaps, mmccarthy.
P.S. I was always a bit vague on JOINs. Time to do some reading...

I have a permission tracking app that I am working on, and I have made the
insert page for it. I am having issues on how to prevent duplicates from
getting entered.
Currently the interface for the app has a mixture of select boxes, list
boxes and checkboxes. The form submits the page to processAIMR.asp and then
does the inserting. I am using a loop to insert a new record for each
checkbox checked or listbox entry selected.

If anyone could help, I would appreciate it.
I have a table as listed below.
I need to check for duplicates by the OrderItem field and if there are
duplicates, it then needs to keep the OrderItem with the highest
interval and discard all other duplicates for that OrderItem number.
If the OrderItem and the Interval are exactly the same, it just needs
to keep one entry for the OrderItem.

Hi,
I have a table with duplicate records.
Some of the duplicates need to be eliminated from the table and some
need not.
A duplicate record does not need to be eliminated if the one record
appears multiple times on one employee's report.
However, if the same record(s) appear on any other employee's report,
it means they collaborated on the item, and the item from the second
employee's report should be eliminated from the table.

In my form I have a master table and a details table linked 1xM. I can
search through the whole parent table but I also like to be able to search
through the child table fields to find parent records. Should I design a new
form for this or can I somehow make this work in the same form.
Thanks in advance,

In the table there are 2 fields in which I wish to limit (i.e. No
Duplicates)
Although I do not want to limit them to "No Duplicates" separately.
I need them to be limited to "No Duplicates" as if they were one
field.
The 2 fields are "Employee_Name" & "Training_Course".
*(There is another table for Employees & another for Training Courses,
both of which are related to this table.)

If you are trying to put data in to a table where you don't want any duplicate data a primary key, unique constraint and all that prevention is the best way to go. However when you try to insert data and it conflicts with an entry you get an error then you have to...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
