This is useless in the real world. I have over 100, 000 records in a single table and at any one time the data will have 25k duplicates, I need to purge these duplicates on a weekly basis, I am not going to do it 1x1

Delete manually? A big joke for me as i found this video while searching for a method to delete duplicate record from over 30, 000 records of my database. Really not a good suggestion at all.

Not helpful, The end user shouldn't have to worry about MANUALLY deleting records. How can you set Access to delete them with programming?
