displaying all the duplicate records in a duplicate query
I've been using Total queries to count the numbers of duplicate records in a table, where one query field is a Group By and the other is a Count of the same underlying field. This results in a query that displays the duplicate record values in one field, and the number of records in each of those groups in another query field.
The specific query parameters I'm using a Field Left(Name,6) Name Total Group By Count Criteria 1 I'm trying to figure out a way to create a query that would display each of the individual (duplicate) records in each group, instead of just showing the count of the records within each group. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks in advance, Paul |

displaying all the duplicate records in a duplicate query
Using the Find Duplicates Query Wizard should be able to do this for you.
Select queries in you database window. Then click the new button, select Find Duplicates Query Wizard, and follow the directions. Also, please use text format when posting to the newsgroups. RTF/HTML wastes bandwidth and increases download times. Good luck. Sco "Paul James" wrote in message ...

displaying all the duplicate records in a duplicate query
I would save this query, and use it as a recordset for a
second query, and link [Name] in your first query, with the Name field, in your underlying table, and display all the fields from the underlying table you want to see.

displaying all the duplicate records in a duplicate query
Thanks for the reply and the info.
You're right - the query wizard gave me exactly what I wanted. Regarding the RTF, I don't usually use it in my messages to newsgroups, but I wanted to use courier font so the columns in my example would line up properly. I didn't know any other way to get the courier in there. I always want to follow proper newsgroup etiquette, so if using RTF causes any problems, I don't want to do it. But since this is an Access newsgroup, how do contributors get their columns to line up so they're readable without using RTF? Paul "M.L. Sco Scofield" wrote in message ...

displaying all the duplicate records in a duplicate query
Thanks for your reply, Margaret.
I tried following your suggestion in detail by building a second query using the first query, adding the underlying table and linking them on the [Name] fields in both tables. However, it didn't cause the query to display all of the duplicate records. Also, I'm able to display any additiona fields by just adding them to the first query and setting their "Total" row to "First." Paul "Margaret Bartley" wrote in message ...

displaying all the duplicate records in a duplicate query
Inline...
Sco "Paul James" wrote in message ... Thanks for the reply and the info. You're most welcome. You're right - the query wizard gave me exactly what I wanted. Excellent! I just love a happy ending. :-) Regarding the RTF, I don't usually use it in my messages to newsgroups, but I wanted to use courier font so the columns in my example would line up properly. I didn't know any other way to get the courier in there. Just throw in a few extra spaces if the alignment is that important. I always want to follow proper newsgroup etiquette, so if using RTF causes any problems, I don't want to do it. But since this is an Access newsgroup, how do contributors get their columns to line up so they're readable without using RTF? The problem is the message size. A lot of people set download limits. Because RTF grows 2 to 4 times faster than plain text, your message might not get download by someone that can help. Also, because of the idiots that have found ways to insert malicious script into HTML, there are some people that won't even download a message that is not plain text. Again, your message might get missed by someone that could help. Paul snip |
