    Hi Kuya,

    I got it...

    select acct_no,name from TRANSACT where (acct_no,name) in
    (select acct_no,name from(select distinct acct_no,name from TRANSACT)
    group by acct_no,name having count(*)>1);

    Are there other better ones pls...

    Thanks

    Is there a reason that you don't do this?

    Code:
    
    SELECT acct_no, name 
      FROM TRANSACT 
     GROUP BY acct_no, name 
    HAVING COUNT(*)>1;
    
    You don't need the distinct or the subquery.

    Code:
    Select 
      A.* 
    From
      (Select distinct acct_no, name From Transact) A,
      (Select distinct acct_no, name From Transact) B
    Where
      A.acct_no = B.acct_no And
      A.name <> B.name
    ;
    Abhay.
    funky...
