delete records of the same date

[henrywid]

another question: how do i create a script whereby it can automatically delete records of the same date.

say i have 8 records with the respective dates:

rec1 Feb20 01

rec2 Feb20 01

rec3 Feb20 01

rec4 Feb21 01

rec5 Feb21 01

rec6 Feb21 01

rec7 Feb22 01

rec8 Feb22 01

then the script, when executed will delete any of the 2 records of rec1-3, delete any 2 records rec4-6 and delete any record of rec7-8.

TIA

Use the example script given in the FMP manual on page 10-13 called "finding duplicate records."

Once the records are marked, you can do a search for the marked (duplicate) records and then do a "delete all records"
