Hai there,

Situation: Word 2003 faxmerge or email merge

Question: Is there an easy way to "automatically" discard/skip duplicate
email addresses or faxnumbers?

Thanks in advance!

Hai Doug,

thanks for the quick reply!
But I think I'm missing something. The possible duplicate
faxnumbers/emailaddresses are in my datasource.

When I start the the Fax or Email merge, Word will automatically proceed all
records from my datasource. The article you mentioned seems applyable on a
Word document. I don't see how it applies on a datasource.

Thanks and regards,

And the idea was that you would use that information on your data source.
Of course if your datasource is and Access table, then there is a Find
duplicates wizard in Access.
