Pam,
You can create a dual primary field. Just create a new table for now to do
this. Create the table, using CatNum, and ItemNum rather than the pound
sign. (The pound sign can cause other problems down the road.) In the
design view highlight both these fields and click on the Primary Key icon.
You will have a dual primary key enabled. Under CatNum, change the Required
field to Yes.
With this configuration, you will be allowed to have any number of the same
category you want and any number of the same item you want, as long as both
are not exact duplicates of another set.
In order to check for existing duplicates, do an Append query from your
existing table to your new table. When you execute it, you will get an
error message telling you that ## of records won't be added due to key
violations. Click Ok to this. You will now have a new table with no
duplicate entries.
If you need any help with this just holler.

Hi all,
I need to create a check point of some sort that consists of 2 fields, a
cat# and item#. There will often be the same cat# or the same item# but
there should never be a duplicate of the combination of both fields. Also,
there may not always be an Item# but will always be a Cat#.
Example:
Cat# Item#
101 R2
101 R3
105 R2
105 R3
105 R6
170
190
Since this table is already populated with over 7000 entries I need to check
for any already existing duplicates too. Is there a way to do this?
Pam
