I have been compiling a dictionary of country and city locations in order to
facilitate a lookup function.
I have been left with 7000+ rows of data, a lot of it has been duplicated.
An example of this is :

Customer Location Name  My Location name
AFGHANISTAN                     Afghanistan
Afghanistan                     Afghanistan
Afghanistan                     Afghanistan
AFGHANISTAN                     Afghanistan
Afghanistan Proper      Afghanistan

This is based on different companies calling their countries by different
varieties.
I need a macro which will remove record 2 and 4 as they are duplicates.
I can import this into Access and do it there if someone can tell me how.


Thanks
Aaron
