Newbies MikeTheDataGuy Posted November 23, 2008 Newbies Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hi. If I use ! in the Find Mode, will this find all of the duplicate records in my table? If so, can I delete the "found" duplicate records in order to have a clean, no duplicate database? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_vodka Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 No because this will delete your originals as well. You can either do an advanced search for +delete +duplicates or you can follow the method in FileMaker's help files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies MikeTheDataGuy Posted November 24, 2008 Author Newbies Share Posted November 24, 2008 How do you do that advance search that you mentioned. I'm trying to delete all dups from the database without deleting the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Mr Vodka was suggesting that you search the Forums using the term "+delete +duplicates" to find other posts that may help, or search FMP help for their suggested method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies MikeTheDataGuy Posted December 9, 2008 Author Newbies Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'm having problems finding any topics on finding and removing duplicates without deleting the original record in FMP9. Can anyone copy and paste instructions? Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
