Hi All
I have posted this query before (last year) but was forced to abandon it due to a death in the family. Now that I am back on track I need some help.
I found this code on the forum which works to a degree.
If I run the code it adds the records to the database fine. but if run again it duplicates all the data. I tried indexing a field with no duplicates which works fine but sometimes the record is ammended and field data is changed but as the field with no duplicates does not allow it to be added.
Any Ideas.
