Re: how to remove duplicate entries
my fault: I said "entries" but actually this is not correct. I already have in the workflow one AL-table-loop and one filter-table-loop on two different tables for my form A. And I read logins from another form B. These are read in the table fields. At the end of my 2 table-loop I have a field which displays logins on my form A. Sometimes I have 2 times the same login. This is because one login could be checked two times. So it is a normal result at the end. But still I would like to remove duplicates at the very end of my workflow ... before I send emails out ... :D Sorry for the confusion.
