find duplicate query- multiple fields

GrandMaster
8 New Member
Hi all

I'm using MS Access 97 and in my current database (a flat single table database) I have a field for FirstName and one for FamilyName. I've been given two different lots of data to import but some have the same person repeated on both. The only difference is that there is another field that nominates which of the two batches of data that record is from. Therefore I need to make a find duplicate query which can find where both FirstName and FamilyName are the same and tell me the ID (which is the Autonumber) of both records so I can consolidate them into one.

Thanks for your help in advance.

There's a find duplicates query wizard.

I should have explained that I didn't have that feature installed for some reason and I was hoping to find out how to do it manually.
I upgraded to Access 2003 anyway with the wizards so I've done it myself, thanks anyway.

Hello, i need some help if possible... i have a payments table with over 500 records i want to run a query that searches through the table spotting out any duplicate ID#'s and Dates. So basically it will run a search spotting out duplicate ID#'s. Than with in those ID#'s spot out duplicate dates. I could do this by eye and spend hours spotting out the duplicated dates, but it would be much easier and funner having a script do it for you.

OK, how to explain this. I have a table that will feed into another table using an append query. What I want to do is look at the table I am appending the record to to check for a duplicate record. I would use a key field, but, I will sometimes want to allow the duplicate field. i.e. sometimes it will have a zero (0) value. So how would I check the other table once I click on the button to add the record. I have a Current TB table...

My basic situation is this - I ONLY want duplicates, so the opposite of DISTINCT: I have two tables. Ordinarily, Table1ColumnA corresponds in a one to one ratio with Table2ColumnB through a shared variable. So if I query TableB using the shared variable, there really should only be on record returned. In essence, if I run this and return TWO rows, it is very bad: select * from TableB where SharedVariable = 1234

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
