Duplicate Receipts

Scan the filtered receipt records using the Navigation buttons and find duplicate receipts. Duplicate receipts looks the same and the only way to identify a difference is their record number. If there are four records and there are two duplicate records (record#2 and record#4), examine the receipts closely and decide which one to delete.
