I am working with two databases. The first one is 6139 records that we have
already mailed brochures out to. The second one is 5300 +. I want to
compare the second data base with the first and eliminate the duplicates in
the second database. I have tried the duplicate elimination function in
Excel but this does not give me the info. I need. Any ideas?
Also...the supplier of the second data base put an apostrophe before the
beginning of the text in each of the cells. Can they be eliminated simply
with a function?

Thanks!
