    In the txt file, i have product numbers, product names, and prices. I want to check for duplicate product numbers. When a duplicate is found, I want to ignore it so that the duplicate won't appear in the combo box that i'm presenting the information in.
    i'm sorry if my questions are ambiguous. it's hard for me to put into words what i wanna ask.
