Default Deleting exact duplicates in a database

Why not get a unique listing use advanced filter

Select the database
Data=Filter=Advanced Filter

Select copy to another location and designate a cell

then click the Unqiques only checkbox in the lower left

then click OK.

If you want code, turn on the macro recorder while you do it manually.
