Automation of Access Database data rework

Completed Posted Nov 10, 2004 Paid on delivery
Completed Paid on delivery

We need a program, script or Macro, etc...that will automate a process in MS Access that we need for several of our databases. The databases will all be the same type, (access) and will have the same field names. The problem is with one particular field, IFIELD1. We didn't realize until it was too late that all the data in this field needed to be unique, therefore we have several hundred of these databases that have duplicate values in this field. I need a way to search for duplicate values in this field and then append an incrementing Capital letter to the end of the duplicate values. For instance, if there were three identical entries such as, FA4002277, FA4002277, FA4002277, then it would need to change the second and third entry to FA4002277, FA4002277A, FA4002277B, etc.....

The number of duplicates per database might vary between zero duplicates and up to 20 or 30. Hopefully one or you Access/VB gurus can come up with a solution for us. I have attached a sample database to help you out.

Please ask any questions and I will be available via IM and Email/RAC all day. We need this urgently please.
