Question on duplicates

I'm new to access and I'm in the process of setting up a small
database for myself. I'm importing a list of document id's into a
database table. If I try to index and say "NO" to duplicates, I get a
message stating that I have duplicates. Does anyone know how to setup
access to kick the duplicates out to a list or something for me? I
have many documents ids and don't want to go thru each one.

Thanks !

You can put the IDs in a temporary table, and from there do an insert
query into the 'real' table; in that query you can use the DISTINCT
predicate to get every ID only once.
