Though I don't do very much importing of data from an online source, I do have a habit of sometimes forgetting that I read the same article and/or entered it into my EN database a year ago (heck, sometimes I forget that I read the same article two months ago... :-)). It would be very nice to be able to specify which fields were matched in a "Find Duplicates." I suspect that the percent correlation that Blubaugh wants might be tricky interface-wise. I'd settle for the field-specific searching for matches. Terry Harpold
