RobDog888, I see your point, however there may be "Ann Ryan"; "Ann Harris"; "Ann Sullivan"; "Tony Harris" etc in the database, and all be classified as Distinct records even though there would be duplicate first names and surnames.
Then the duplication is caused by other columns in the query, or the entire row is distinct because of primary key column. You should specify the columns to be returned.

rsTable.Open "SELECT DISTINCT FName, Surname FROM Table ORDER BY ID", CN,adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly
