    RE: I have Duplicate vendor names, how to delete one

    I suggest you to do this:

    1) go on table VendTable;

    2) right click on a random field and to click "Record info";

    3) When Record info's windows is opened click on rename;

    4) put in there the accountNum that you want to use on all transactions;

    5) then click ok.

    When you click ok it will substitute that primary key everywhere it is used, so you will maintain integrity.

    Hope this can help you.

    Hi Manikumar,

    Renaming a vendor to the other number is not possible. It will raise a duplicate key exception. Have a look at a similar question from 2 days ago: community.dynamics.com/.../460916

    I provided my insights on that thread.
