Amazing!!  Thank you both.  In fact all 3 or was it four methods seem to 
work.
Apologies.  I did not think to search the forum.

Anyway, (beep,beep) I'd better go ....
Thanks again

p.s.  If its of interest, I am matching patient data over five 
historical databases ( up to 22 years old) for some pathology research 
guys.  I now have all databases loaded "in image" into postgresql 
databases and am trying to match the patients based on names, addresses, 
referring doctor etc etc.  Its a lot of "fun" trying to determine 
strategies to decide on a match or not!  But we are now down to 145000 
odd un- or "not sure" matches from over 1,600,000 pathology test reports.
The big project is about determining how much pathology has improved, my 
part is just to try and fine down pathology history into "unique 
patient" histories.  I got the job because about 30 odd years ago I was 
involved in the development of one of the original "Soundex" systems in 
Australia to try and match patients in a casualty ward.  It is a bit of 
fun determining the fuzzy logics here though, like "if patient.gender = 
"male" and matchpatient.pathtest="Pap Smear" then 
EliminateMatch(patient, matchpatient)" etc etc
but we do get down to things like is Mr C Lo the same as Mr C Low etc.
So each run over the 145000 ( and dropping) suspect matches is aimed at 
trying one or two new rules to eliminate incorrect matches.  By the way, 
the 145000 suspects has around 750,000 matchpatients. So there is a way 
to go yet.  Each run reveals the possibilty of new rules, but sometimes 
the existing rules don't resolve to 100% yes or no.  Hence the need for 
the beep when the "superbrain" needs a bit of help.
