    Get table values in a many to many relationship


    Hi,
    I have a many to many relationship between the following tables:
    tblBibli with 43000 records
    NewTable is the junction table with 62000 records
    The NewTable has two fields: FamilyName and FirstName (with duplicates)

    How can I create the third table tblNames that contains no duplicates names in order to continue the N:M relationship?

    Here is a picture of the relationship until now:

    Before you do that, I suggest that you do not rely on the combination of First Name + Last Name to be unique - many people share the same first & last names, so you should look for another way to uniquely identify your authors (I assume it's authors).
