Not sure what you're asking here. You want to mark records as
duplicates if they have the same name, but different addresses? Or
the same address?
>Is there a dupe-check formula someone can lend me for this?
The TIGHT criterion built into ebase marks records as dupe if the
last name, first 3 characters of the first name, the number part of
the address and the zip code are the same. The LOOSE criterion omits
the first name from the comparison. Does either one of those do what
you want?

You won't be able to change any of the criteria with the runtime. If
one of the built-in criteria doesn't work, you'll need to find
someone who has FileMaker and the savvy to do the modification.
