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;

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:
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 want to find duplicate records based on FirstName and LastName and delete the duplicate. Also, I want to delete any records which have a blank FirstName and LastName.
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'm wondering if it's possible to create a Query / Macro / VBA or whatever works, to detect the duplicate records in a table and delete them with the push of a command button. Or, even to do this automatically when the database opens using an AutoExec macro or something ?. I'd like for one copy of each record to be left intact in the table.
I need developing a new delete query criteria to add onto existing delete duplicate queries for deleting duplicate values. I need the new delete duplicate query to take precedent over the other two so that those values retained in the first query are kept retained after going through the second and third delete queries. Attached is a document laying out the request.
I have a table which has duplicate records so I want to write down the code so that when the user click on a button then it should remove the duplicate records from the table.
How to give a VBA code for duplicate records is without entry in Subform datasheet. I just used in the screenshot code but that is not working properly. how to change a vba code for without entry duplicate names.
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?
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 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.
A B John Doe Tires John Doe Wipers Allison Doe Tires
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 this code on the a Close Button and if the record is incomplete I want it to be deleted from the table. The ID field is an autonumber so it is the 1st field to get a value if a user starts entering data. I get a msg box saying 0 fileds will be deleted why? the id's do match but it does not delete??
I'm trying to delete a table once I've used it and always get the same error saying that the table is already in use, these are the commands I've tried:
Please help. I have create the below code in red but what is the mistake.
If DCount("[product_code]", "PRODUCT MASTERLIST", "[product code]"= " & Me.Product_code& "'") Then MsgBox "This Product Code has already exists!!" Cancel = True Me.Undo Exit Sub Else 'Do nothing End If
I have a form based on a query and have written code to display a msgbox if a duplicate entry is inputted in the NHS_Number field in the form. I have also added code "me.undo" to clear the form so that it is not saved. I am looking for a piece of code that will display the duplicate record. Here is my code thus far:
Private Sub NHs_Number_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim dbs As Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim x As Integer
I am close to finishing a new database. In this database I have some VBA code that does a bunch of stuff, one of those things is to check if a temp table exists, and if yes then it will delete it.
Once finished this database will be made available to a range of people via Access Runtime 2010. I'm just wondering will the VBA code that deletes a table work in a Runtime environment?
I guess I should also ask if a save import process will also run via Runtime.just need to make sure that the users that need to do this code have full access if its required.
Some times, the system become stuck, which forces the user to end the program using Windows Alt+Ctrl+Delete. I have MS Access code which I want to execute when the user made the 'End Program' event using the Alt+Ctrl+Delete.
I am trying to delete a record in tblinclude where record from tblexclude are equal to clientid and codeid
