texte = WebCatalog 3.0.7 on Mac OSHello,I have a database with about 10,000 records in it. I need to do a search on a specific field (nickname) and find all records that have more than one match.What I am doing is trying to take an existing field and eventually make the value in that field a unique value, so in order to do that I need to find all records where there is a conflict and notify those users that they will need to change their nickname.Got any ideas on how to construct such a search?Oh, and many of the records currently have this field blank, I will deal with those users as a seperate case.Thanks for any suggestions.Dale ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
