Don't FMP relationships limit the size of the key to a fairly low limit? I know some versions back it was useless to do it this way, due to all the errant matches you'd get with long keys. It's easy to do in AppleScript or FMP though - many methods, especially if you don't care WHICH record you delete, you just want to delete all but one of the dupes. I would just do it in AppleScript myself to avoid creating new relationships, calc fields, or other cruft

Yep, fair enough points.

In case Wayne's still interested in a non-AS solution: FileMaker 6 considers the first 20 characters of each word, up to a total of 60 chars. FM7 looks at the first 110 chars, up to a return or eofield.
