    Creating a query that search for duplicates but has an variable duplicate search amount

    Hi,


    Sorry for the slightly confusing title. I've taken the following critera from duplicate search query:

    In (SELECT [Customer_id] FROM [Rental] As Tmp GROUP BY [Customer_id] HAVING Count(*)>1)

    From what I understand the >1 means that any duplicates more than one will be vaild for the critera of the query.
    How do I make the 1 a variable that can be inputted by a dialogue box?

    Also I would prefer simpler solutions as I don't know how to use Access that well.

    Thanks,
    Marcus

    try In (SELECT [Customer_id] FROM [Rental] As Tmp GROUP BY [Customer_id] HAVING Count(*)>[Enter Count])
    although I confess to never having tried to use a parameter prompt in what looks like a sub query.

    Then the only solution I can think of that should work involves vba, which you've indicated you don't want. If nothing else is offered and you change your mind, post back.
    Since you're only showing part of the sql I can't tell if you'd build a sql string and execute it in vba, or alter the query definition of your stored query, or what.

    Dynamic parameter in the nested query works for me, even with the IN function.

    I don't think I have a dupes query with an IN clause so I can't test it, but it does work in the usual dupe query.
