Anyone know where I can download a simple fm database that removes duplicates?

Yes this can be done with a relationship, i.e. you can easily identify duplicates, automatically, anytime without using a script. Also lookup Identifying duplicate values using a self-join relationship in your FileMaker help to understand how this is done . . .
