Removing duplicates

[annysjunkmail]

Hi Group,

I'm trying desparetly to remove duplicates from the query listed below.
The query returns 39 records but I know that there are exactly 38
unique records (ApplicationRefNo is the primary field).

Applications may contain more than one category but I only want to show
unique applications if it has more than one category.

I am using distinct clause but to no avail. I have then used Group By
and selecting First but it shows 37 instead of 38 records?Can someone
help - pretty please

Regards
Chris

Below will find your duplicates --

SELECT Table1.xx, Count(Table1.xx) AS CountOfxx
FROM Table1
GROUP BY Table1.xx
HAVING (((Count(Table1.xx))>1));
