How do I delete duplicate
records in MAILERS+4 from my Access Database?
To delete duplicate records from your access database
you must first insert a DUP ERROR field into your file with a
length of one. Once you have the DUP ERROR field in your list, go
to the FORMAT FIELDS feature underneath the FILE menu.
Format this field as DUP ERROR on the DUPCHECK TAB at the
top of the format screen. After you have formatted your DUP ERROR
field click on OK and go to the DUPLICATE CHECK feature
under the LIST MENU.
When you are done running the DUPLICATE
CHECK on your list the software will append a component of "D"
for duplicate into the DUP ERROR field. These records are now
marked for deletion within your list. To permanently delete these records
click on the PACK feature underneath the DATABASE MENU.
There will be a check in front of DUPLICATES on the PACK
screen. Click on the pack button and MAILERS+4 will erase your duplicates.
