I've run a query that captures the data set I want. Now I want to eliminate duplicates and retain only the unique names. What text is required in the criteria box in design view?
 
Hi,
Have you tried the Sigma sign (Totals) in the design of your query?
Here you can group and or total on each field.
 
Hi...thank you for your response. I tried the totals button, group by but it did not eliminate the duplicate values. To explain a little better I have a group of manufacturers that have multiple products, which means the manufacturer is a appearing multiple times. I want the manufacturer to appear one time regardless of the number of products each have.
 
Then you can't select the product column in the query. In fact, you shouldn't even be including the products table in the query unless you want a count of the products supplied by each manufacturer.
