find duplicate query- multiple fields

GrandMaster
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.
