hi,

i've got a table collecting info from html forms.  problem is, certain
wiseguys always make multiple entries.  could someone clue me in to how
i can select the Last entry where there is a duplicate for the User
(type text, these are email addresses), and automatically delete any
previous entries?  i'm using a column 'id' int auto_increment as my
index: the last entry from a User will automatically have a higher id #.

example:  i've only gotten this far: this selects all users with
multiple entries

SELECT * from table_name GROUP BY User HAVING Count(User) > 1

thanks muchly,

tom
