If you're sure they're duplicates, then go ahead and delete them. Just move any child records that may depend on them to the new ID.

Thank you fo letting me know.  I just wanted to make sure.  I have question.  Would that do anything to the tables that i have for the email type emailT, phone typr, ,phone t and addressest.  I know those have the contac ID in them.  What do you mean by child records?

Yup. Those are the child records. Any record who has your contact's ID as their foreign key.

So, if I have tables with the Contact ID and the foreign key.  I shouuldn't delete the duplate records.

Just run an update query and change those foreign keys in the child records to the new parent ID

Can you send me a link for a video on that if you have on your website?

I just did (previous message). Also covered in Access Expert 13.

I got the video.  Thank you.  I always love watching your videos.

Thanks! That's an oldie but a goodie.
