Remove duplicate words from a string
Hi

Say i have the following in a field

<Anyword, Anyword, Otherword, Otherword>

How can i remove/hide the duplicate words when retreiving the data in query?

With the result being >

<Anyword, Otherword>

Anyhelp is greatly appreciated,. I can't remove the duplicates at an earlier stage as they are gathered via a column row concatination,...

Thanks AOG

have a look here. i realize this function is written in VBScript (for ASP), but i'm sure it can be converted to VBA quite easily.
