Hi Tom, Ok, I've checked this through on my code.
I add cftoken to the cfid to make a single string and store this against the user table. The UUID on cfadmin is checked and I am running on MX 6.1. My dupe records report returns all records based on the cfid:cftoken pair. I still don't understand how it can return dupes. The user records appear genuine so I don't think its people willingly creating second user records. Any ideas please?
