Working with duplicates

[Matt_]

Hopefully someone could help me... I'm building an administration database for a school using FMP 7. I received a file from the school which contains courses for each student.

Here's a sample of what was imported. (This is only 2 students)

"STUDENTID","FIRST","LAST","COURSE","SEX","HOMEROOM","DOB","PHONE"

"012345678","JOHN","DOE","FSF1PI-04","M","  9AA","12-10-90","(555)555-1234"

"012345678","JOHN","DOE","HFN2OI-03","M","  9AA","12-10-90","(555)555-1234"

"012345678","JOHN","DOE","PPL1OY-05","M","  9AA","12-10-90","(555)555-1234"

"012345678","JOHN","DOE","SNC1DI-03","M","  9AA","12-10-90","(555)555-1234"

"876543210","JANE","DOE","CGW4UI-02","F"," 12KK","26-06-86","(555)555-4321"

"876543210","JANE","DOE","HFA4MI-01","F"," 12KK","26-06-86","(555)555-4321"

"876543210","JANE","DOE","MCB4UI-03","F"," 12KK","26-06-86","(555)555-4321"

"876543210","JANE","DOE","PSE4UI-02","F"," 12KK","26-06-86","(555)555-4321"

When I imported the data into Filemaker, I only imported the 4th value (Course). This list contains 7000+ records (one per class for each student imported).

Is there any way that I can generate a list of courses by keeping only ONE of each course imported?

Thanks!

The export feature in FM allows you to export a summarized set of records. I would export a summarized set of records by course in the format of your choice and reimport into FM.
