I have another issue where I am updating a file using SQL and it could potentially create duplicates. Rather than omit the duplicates, I want to modify the values so the duplicates won't occur. There is a line number field in the table that I can increment by 1 if I find a record that is a duplicate and that will eliminate a duplicate value.

For example the data might be

EmpID Date Line# 446 071507 1
446 071507 2
446 072507 1

So if I want to change the date from 072507 to 071507 I also need to change the line to 3.

Any ideas ?
