My apologies if the title isn't clear, i'm having a hard time articulating what my issue is.
Basically, I'm running a query that brings back a list of part numbers and info that corresponds to each part number. The issue is, there is one field, "Special Stock", that is causing duplicate entries. There are certain part numbers that can fall into more than one special stock category. So when I run a report, the sums and averages are all off because of the duplicate records (duplicate in every field except Special Stock). I need the special stock number to be included in the report, but I can only have each part number appear once. I need the part numbers with multiple special stock numbers to just pick one, and disregard the duplicate entries. This doesn't seem like a very logical thing to do in access, but I'm hoping someone can maybe point me in the right direction.
Thank yo
