# Mark duplicates

This window is displayed by clicking on the Mark Duplicates button on the View Imports screen.

This form is modal. You must close it before you can access other forms or the menu

When OK is click the program compares the values of the records in the Import database with the main database.

If the values in the 2 are the same and the import time is blank, it is set to the current time, effectively indicating the record was Imported.

As the process occurs, running totals and other indicators are updated.

At the end of this process only genuine failures should still have blank import times, ie those where the values were changed in both databases and are different. These need to be sorted out using the Compare option.
