    detecting duplicates in child form

    Is there a code to detect duplicates in child form? the duplicate is not on one field only, it should be on two fields like:



    DATE ITEM
    june 2 apple
    june 3 apple
    june 2 apple
    june 3 orange

    it would detect the 3rd record as duplicate from the first record.

    hope this is clear. thanks so much!

    Forms display data which is stored in tables.
    You can use the query wizard to create a duplicates query for the table that contains the data you listed.
