Hi Darryl

It wasn't clear which fields constitute the combination that is duplicated. The data you presented is 2 unique rows - no duplication.

Did you get an error using MIN()? You have to have a GROUP BY for MIN on other fields to make a difference. Someone else (Pete Hall?) gave a suggestion very like mine, just he wrote it out. See if that works.

Vern

Tried that. The MIN did not take effect. The values in the fields are the
same.
