    How to prevent similar data entry?

    Different users are putting data for our customers. How can we figure if we are making a duplicate record for the same costumers and prevent that? I mean for example a costumer name is “Scarlett Johansson”, and a record is made for her. Then another user is entering the same data for the costumer, but the user types” Scarlett Johanson”. A typo is here. Can access warn that a similar costumer name already exists and let us decide whether to proceed with data entry or not?

    Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

    Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

    Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).
