[LOGic] Help Finding Dupes in LOGic ???

[R Johnson]

Hi Mel:
TNX for the response.

I have Visual Foxpro and was able to open the file to look at it. That's are far
as I could go. It's way beyond my ability !!!

I know SQL it's "Systems Query Language", but that's it.

I had an idea this afternoon. I think I'll contact Jim, AD1C. Jim has written many
utilities to support the "CT" logging program. It might be possible to export an ADIF
file from LOGic and then use some of the "CT" utilities to find the dupes.
I know it's very convoluted approach with many steps for errors to creep in.

I was hopping that Dennis would weigh in on this. I'm sure he could come up with a new tool.
