Hello,
I'm new to using Access.  Is there a way I can set Access up when designing a 
form that it will alert me when I am keying in a duplicate record.  I would 
like the option to continue with that record or not put it in at all.  I'm 
keying in a lot of names and I'm not sure if some of them are duplicates or 
not.  I would like Access to alert me at the time I'm typing in the record 
that it is a duplicate.  I tried input (something like that) in the table 
when I was setting it up.  I picked Yes (duplicates) but it didn't work.  I 
don't think I just called it the right thing.  It's in the Field Properties 
section.  I chose the Indexed - Yes, duplicates I think, but it didn't work.  
If anyone is familiar with Goldmine (the contact manager program), that 
program alerts you of duplicates when you are typing in the records.  That's 
what I want to do with Access.  I like Access much better because you can do 
a lot more things, but I need that particular function.  Any help would be 
appreciated.  Thanks and take care.
   Sylvia
