No Duplicate in Quick

[Georgia Miller]

Peter,
Thank you so much for this response.  I did put this in the screen and at least it lets them know that they may have duplicated the fields.  On this screen they often duplicate several of the fields before and after these 2 critical fields.  It is very possible for these same values to be the same, so they will get the warning when this happens.  But the warning will remind them  to check to see that the correct value was entered, as I made the Warning audible.

Thanks Again.
Georgia
