Claire,
To answer the last question first, if you mean do I work for Legacy,
then the answer is is "No", I am a user the same as most of the others
who try to help. If it hadn't been typed, then perhaps the problem was
arising during a merger - a totally different ball game as I'm sure
you would agree.
I have never had this problem, and at present cannot think of a
possible cause. Since it seems to be random, isolating the cause could
be extremly difficult unless something is spotted at the time of
entry. The clipboards seem to be an obvious, but no single one
contains all the details necessary to make a duplicate entry.
Sorry if you took offence re typed entries, non was intended, I
thought the opening of my second paragraph would have shown that this
was meant to be mildly (British?) humourous. I know that I have made
entry errors in the past, and no doubt will in the future.
Ron Ferguson
