I would realize this can only have happened if there was a bad

So I would create the correct table, with the correct indexes, and
then run an append query to add all records. If you are lucky, the
good ones will be added and the bad ones won't be added because that
would violate the index.
Then rename the old table, break all relationships, rename the new one
to the name of the old one, and reestablish the relationships.

I have a database that someone altered a query and for the last several months it has duplicated entries each time the update process was run. I
need to delete the duplicates but in the last month update added an addition 3 million lines of data and really don't want to manually have to go through
this manually. Can someone suggest a way to create a delete query that will only keep the single entry for each acct.
