Sergey, I have to apologize about the "Not" statement. I think I was wrong and I hope you didn't think I was rude, because I really do thank you for your help.

Sergey, you are my hero man. I just marked your answer as the accepted solution. I did have to change one "tiny" part. The "NOT" operator that you talked about is actually reversed. If you use Not, it will add the the new data to the list, but if you remove it, it does not. But it only took me a one time through the debugger to find that out.

Can't thank you enough.

Thank you Sergey. I am trying to avoid duplicates. And yes it's before the record is saved to the list. I try to validate when the save button is clicked. This is when I'm trying to decide whether to save the data or not.

Thanks for telling me about the "Any" part. I'm pretty new at lists. And I've heard about Lambda, but haven't studied it yet. At them moment, this program is not a real world program. I'm trying to teach myself concepts right now so when an actual program comes up, I will be prepared. I'm going to try your solution right now.
Thank you very much.

I apologize for being an idiot <smile> I just accepted your solution and really appreciate your help.

Hi Griff, that's awesome. That probably gets me over the biggest hump there will be. The beginning of understanding is always the hardest part for me.

I would like to be able to say I accept your solution but you need to put it into the solution box (if you want), then I'll accept it. Thanks so much for your help.

You sure cleared one thing up for me. I didn't realize the each person was their own instance of the Contact class. Guess I'm a bit thick headed. But now I wonder about another thing about your answer. All of this is going to run in a GUI front end. Is there a better way to keep up with firstperson and secondperson and on and on?
