I have an existing database and I am constantly uploading new databases into my Filemaker Solution. I need a program within Filemaker that can do the following 2 things: 1. Check for EXACT duplicates and remove those duplicates 2. Check for SIMILAR duplicates based on certain algorithms and remove those. Has anyone already developed such a program? If yes, please send me details as I am interested. Thanks
Greetings,
I have read Project Description & not sure, if we have done similar work but can you provide me more detailed requirements? I can then confirm you, if we can do it or not.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi,
For previous FileMaker projects have a look at clients' reviews section on my profile.
Check and eliminate duplicities is feasible but it depends also on how your current db is designed: does it have a unique key? Or is the key formed by several fields?
Check for similarities are feasible but also here I need some more details.
I'll be glad to have a look at your current db in order to be more precise.
Feel free to ask further information.
Kind regards,
Mike
I can send you an example of finding a unique database record 1 the field and exhibiting unique flag. You are free van product method on any number of fields, then select the recording without the flag and delete them (since they are duplicates). This example was created to demonstrate the display of unique values in the portal.
But your contacts are hidden. Write me a private message.
Hello Sir,
I have more than 4 years experience in Filemaker Database Development. I already done this kind of task.I am waiting for your further response.
Thanks & Regards

Hello,
It is indeed an issue whether it will be single or multiple field duplicates, table relations etc. Also pls state the version of Filemaker of the original file. If it is just single field duplicates it will be a very easy project.
Of course you can contact me with further specs.
Many thanks,
Manos
