    How do I stop duplicate entries in a table from an append query?

    Hi,

    How do I get my append query working so it doesnt append duplicates onto an existing table? Currently if I run the append query I get multiples of the same data?



    Thanks

    You will have to create a query that finds the unique records in the first table (the unmatched query wizard should help with that) and then use that query as the basis for your append query.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
