I do not know if this is the best way, but it is one way :) Install sixpack: http://www.santafe.edu/~dirk/sixpack/ Import all your bibfiles into one sixpack-db in the transfer menu. In Edit choose "mark double CITEIDs, but first", then choose "Delete marked". And then export to a new BibTeX. This should remove all but the first encounter of a unique CITEID. Ingar
