I have an Access database table (on a web server).<br />
<br />
There are 4 identical records, I want to delete 3 &amp;&nbsp;keep 1.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to do this? If I do &quot;DELETE Orders where.......&quot; all the where criteria are the same so it will delete ALL, which I don't want.<br />
<br />
Of course I recognize I can save the data from 1 &amp;&nbsp;then re-insert, but that's a pain.<br />
<br />
Thanks
