Hi!
The same idea. 'Where' will filter out records for count() function.
Select IDField, count(IDField) as nCount
from MyTable
where MyDateField betwen m.ldDate - 10 AND m.ldDate + 10
group by IDField
having nCount>1
>>>I'm switching an index to a primary and am getting a duplicate index message. How can I find the duplicates amoung 1000's without
>>>looking through them all?

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
