Hi,

You want to do this in Excel, or in Access. If in access it can be done using normal queries..why go for VBA........?

You could do it by normal queries. Using a simple SELECT query with DISTINCT. "SELECT DISTINCT field_name FROM table_name"

Or you could do a group by similiarily...which would again remove duplicates..
