Unique records

Grr!

I have a unique identifier in my database (I defined it as unique by: 'define fields, options, validation, select unique tick box).

It works fine for data entry (i.e. say's I'm not allowed to duplicate id's in that field). But when I'm importing data, it'll allow my 'unique' field to have duplicate's in! Aargh! It took me hours yesterday to make sure that the right person had been allocated to the right company, as around 14 company's shared 'unique' id's!!

Consequently, I have no faith that the right people are married up to the correct organisation.

Does anyone know how to make the unique field option really work?!

thanks

A very frustrated Sam!

Check out Capt Kurts FAQ on unique identifiers. His method assures virtually every record will have a unique ID.
