I am trying to create a query to find duplicates and delete the duplicates. The result will eventually be used in another query (append query) to update a table.I have a table with 4 columns lets say for simplicity they are A, B, C, D
I want my query to find duplicates within B and deleting them. The catch is before deleting them I need to look into column A to ebsure they are actually duplicates. Example below
Example
A B
John Doe Tires
John Doe Wipers
Allison Doe Tires
Allison Doe Tires
As you can see from the above Tires is a duplicate and need to be deleted.

The charity that I volunteer at has a web site through which they receive donations.
Most of the COMPANY names that they receive through their website are JUNK.
I would like to have a system to delete duplicate company names:
A = first programmatically delete all company names that are GOOGLE and this will remove about 60% of their spam B = next group all Duplicate Company names, which will be removed manually
I have tried the code below, but I am not getting what I need. I have a table [Student Info] with a field [Student ID] as the primary key and many other fields. I added the Student ID field to my form, [Student Add]. When I input an ID that already exists I get an error code as expected but then my form still loads. I currently have a second form for updating student info [Student Update] for which I have a parameter form that asks for the Student ID. I would like to use just one form to add and update students if possible. So, if you add a new Student ID you can enter all pertinent data. However, if you enter a duplicate Student ID the form should populate with that student's information.
If I must have two forms (1 to add and 1 to update) and a duplicate Student ID is entered into the Add form, the user should get a message stating that the record already exists. Then, (Option 1) force the Add form to close without saving or (Option 2) give an option for opening the Update form. Either option is acceptable at this point because I am stuck.
When attempting to use the code below, I get a data mismatch error on the "Answer = DLookUp......" line.
Here's one I use on Social Security numbers for a pop up when a duplicate.... SS# is stored in table "tblApplicant"
Private Sub SocialSecurity_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim Answer As Variant Answer = DLookup("[SocialSecurity]", "tblApplicant", "[SocialSecurity] = '" & Me.SocialSecurity & "'") If Not IsNull(Answer) Then MsgBox "Duplicate Social Security Number Found" & vbCrLf & "Please enter again.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Duplicate"
I would like to create a custom pop-up Message when one attempts to add a duplicate record.
Currently, I have a default pop-up message when you try to add a duplicate record. I set the field as Indexed= yes(No Duplicates) which generates a default pop-up message but it is technical and wordy. I would like to be able to simplify the wording to just let the user know not to add a duplicate record.
I'd like to override the default behaviour for deleting records in a form.Specifically, I want to build my own custom delete procedure so that when the user presses the Del button, my code fires to complete the deletion of the selected record(s). In order to do that, I'd set Allow Deletions = No for that form. I'd also want to code the KeyDown event for the Del key so that if record(s) are selected, my custom delete code fires, else the default behavior for the Del key happens.I'm primarily interested in how I might code the KeyDown event.
I am building a db for reservations for my limo company. I want to have a cmd button that verifies the user to make sure she wants to delete a run. This is what I have so far:
Private Sub cmdDeleteRun_Click() Dim Response Response = msgbox("Are you sure you want to delete this run?", vbYesNoCancel + vbCritical, "Really delete run?") If Response = vbYes Then
End Sub
I don't know what I am missing for the cmd to actually delete it.
I have made a function returning True/False values. I used this function in a query and now it return value Error as well...Is there a way to set criteria to values received in that field (0/-1/#Error). I've tried putting Like 0, Like True with or without quotation mark.Also every workaround comes into play as long as it works.
Database query. I need the query to count the records of a field and display a number for the records of the field. For instance, one field is [Genre] and the other is [Show]. The query needs to list the Genres along with the number of shows for each genre. I've been able to just use the query design and add the genre field and I can add the show field, use totals count which gives me the genre counts the number of shows. My problem is the null. Some genres don't have a show listed so the genre doesn't even show up in the result. If I could get the the genres that have null shows to result a 0 it would be perfect.
I have made a database for work and is fully functional, but theres one thing I want to add but cant get my head around how to do it.
I have created a Form called 'Filtered Search', on the form it has multiple combo boxes for 'Auditors' 'Area' 'Status' and 2 text boxes for date range.
I want to be able to set what filters I want, and for the query to ignore any fields with no information selected/inputted (i.e. I want to see all records raised by "Mr Smith" (Auditor) that are still 'Active' (Status) in all areas at any time).
Names of items;
Table = 'Incidents' Form = 'Filtered Search' Report = 'Filtered Report' Auditor = 'Combo7' Status = 'Combo156' Area = 'Combo5' Date Range From = 'Text161' Date Range To = 'Text163'
I have a table that has many duplicate records. I tried importing the table and setting the field to no duplicates but did not work. How can I delete duplicate records. The primary Id id fine I have another field that I can use. it is a BAC number that is repeated many times. Here is the table I need fixed.
Have searched the forum but cannot find a suitable answer...
I have duplicates in my table that I need to delete but leave one existing record, e.g.:
ID Part Family Colour Cost 1 123456 HHH M98765 12.99 2 123456 HHH M64975 12.99 3 123456 HHH E79461 12.99 4 123456 HHH G13467 12.99 5 123456 HHH M98765 12.99
In the above example i would want to delete records 2-5 (based on Part and Family, even though the colours are different) leaving one there. If I run the find duplicates and then change that to a delete query then it deletes them all.
This needs to be done via a query as it is done in automation, so manually copying the table structure and applying primary keys to the fileds etc. is not an option.

I have a list of projects and am creating a query that tells me their duration based on beginning and ending dates. These beginning and ending dates can be edited by the user, and frequently, there are multiple beginning dates. When I query the projects, instead of getting unique project numbers on the left hand side to create unique rows, I get many of the same projects with different start dates. I would like to use the FIRST start date only for every project and not have multiple rows with the same projects being counted multiple times.
Is there any way to delete the excess rows and keep the original row? I've read a lot about using DISTINCT and UNIQUE INDEX with SQL but it seems as though these are only available for tables and not queries. Bright ideas, anyone?
On the below data I need to delete records where dep is blank or the same for the same ID. So I need to find and del recNr. 1,4,5. Any help will be appreceated!Thanks
Help please! I have a form (frmHalfTab) built on a table (tblHalfTab2) that has existing data in it. In the very near future, I will be uploading additional data to this table via excel cut and paste. What I want to do is search for and eliminate duplicate records that have duplicate data in TWO fields, (MemberNum) and (MBRDrug), so that if MemberNum is "10" and MBRDrug is "Zzz" for more than one record, the duplicated records need to be deleted, OR a check box needs to be checked automatically for all the identical records, the original and the duplicate(s). I wanted to put this behind a button, if possible.
Now, I have created a duplicate query that will find the duplicated records, but I'm not sure how to use it to get rid of the duplicated records or check the checkbox appropriately. Should I ditch this query and choose a different route, or am I on the right track? Thanks in advance for your help.:confused:
Hello, I have two related table: table_Company and table_contact. Now i have: Table_Contact Table_Company James Bolton -----------> MacDonalds Hellen Kidman ----------> MacDonalds Now, i wanna have one "MacDonalds" in my Company table, and delete the others "MacDonalds" and still have the relationship between my contacts and their company.
Good morning all! I have a problem, I have a contact list table in my database such as name, addr, company, street, country etc. The problem is that I have multiple duplicates of the same data. How do i delete the duplicates? Is there an SQL query that I can run to delete? How do I do it. Please help. Thanks a bunch!
I have two tables that have duplicate order numbers. I would like to compare the first table with the second and then delete the records from the second that match.Can I set this up in a macro and run it every day?
I have a table that has 1335 records in, and columns names, Title, First Name, Surname, Address, Address2, Town/City, County, Postcode.I want to know how to write a SQL code, which will locate all the duplicates that match the First Name, Surname and Postcode and delete them, but keeping 1 copy of the duplicate.I have created a query to locate the duplicate records, and I have put the SQL code there. I tried changing this, however it would delete all the records, so I am not to sure what to try...
SELECT SurnameSearch.Title, SurnameSearch.[First Name], SurnameSearch.Surname, SurnameSearch.Address, SurnameSearch.Address2, SurnameSearch.[Town/City], SurnameSearch.County, SurnameSearch.Postcode FROM SurnameSearch WHERE (((SurnameSearch.[First Name]) In (SELECT [First Name] FROM [SurnameSearch] As Tmp GROUP BY [First Name],[Surname],[Postcode] HAVING Count(*)>1 And [Surname] = [SurnameSearch].[Surname] And [Postcode] = [SurnameSearch].[Postcode]))) ORDER BY SurnameSearch.[First Name], SurnameSearch.Surname, SurnameSearch.Postcode;
When this query runs I want the popup parameter to open and ask for an ChID number. User enters that number and it deletes that record. I cant figure out what to enter on the criteria line. I have [ChID] and that wipes all records. I tried = [ChID] and it does not run.
I know this probably has been asked a 1000 times but I don't seem to be able to edit the uncommented VBA-codes I found online to work on my database.
I already ran a query that shows me the duplicate records of my original table. Now I m looking for a way to
a) delete all duplicate records (not just specific ones by using a criteria) and b) unite the unique records (result of a)) with the original ones that were not displayed with the "find-duplicates-query" ....
I am wondering if there is a quicker way to export a query to excel then have the data in that query removed from the original table. (effectively cutting the data from the table and exporting to excel)
I understand that this can be done by exporting the query to excel then running the same query as a delete query to remove the data but I just wondered if this is the most efficient way.
I have experience of VB in excel but currently only use the basic macro builder in Access though if Access VB is more efficient I can easily learn.
I have a database which holds information about repairs. Each repair is called a task and among other things data is held about things(s) that caused the failure and what need to be replaced. Usually it's one fault but it could be many.Replacements are usually more than 1. Bottom line, in a simplistic view, I have 3 tables task, fails and replacements. There is one to many relationship between tasks and fails and also a one to many relationship between tasks and replacements.
If there is one fail and many replacements my query is good enough as it will produce
