Hello,
I'm trying to get rid of duplicate entries for contacts. So in my contact entry form when the save buttom is clicked I want to use the DCount function to see if there are duplicates. Here is the code I'm trying to use -
If DCount("*", "contacts", [First_Name] = '" & _ Me.First_Name "' & [Last_Name] ='" & _ me.Last_Name " ') >0 Then
-
MsgBox "contact already exists"
-
Else
-
MsgBox "all good"
-
End If
-
-
It is not working and I've tried different ways to write it but I can't get it right. My fields are text fields.
Thanks in advance for the help

Hi. If you've pasted your code from the actual module and not retyped it then there are some minor errors which are easy to correct. Your IF statement is currently: - If DCount("*", "contacts", [First_Name] = '" & Me.First_Name "' & [Last_Name] ='" & me.Last_Name " ') >0 Then
but it should be - If DCount("*", "contacts", "[First_Name] = '" & Me.First_Name & "' AND [Last_Name] ='" & me.Last_Name & "'") > 0 Then
Please be aware that having two contacts with the same name is quite a common occurrence and does not mean that they are necessarily duplicates - you could only tell this by looking at additional information which you don't specify here.

Thanks. And I was aware of the possibility of having people with the same first and last name. I'm using the company name as a third variable. So now it looks like so: - If DCount("*", "contacts", "[First_Name] = '" & Me.First_Name & "' AND [Last_Name] ='" & Me.Last_Name & "' AND [Company] ='" & Me.Company & "'") > 0 Then
-
And it works, so thanks so much for the help Stewart!

I'm having difficulty with the DCount function, not getting the
results that I want.
Field1A and Field2A are fields in TableA matching Field1B and Field2B
in TableB
Using a calculated control in a subform bound to TableB, Field1B and
Field2B are on the form. (Control names are txtField1B and txtField2B)
