Okay, to further refine my understanding of your question:
You say you're trying to eliminate duplicate emails. You also say you're trying to add email in places where there isn't one before. Those sound like two different things.
When you say duplicate emails, do you mean that no 2 records should have the same email? Or do you mean that no record should have 2 emails?
When you're adding an email to records that don't already have one, are you adding the same email over and over (causing duplicates) or do you have a list of emails to add?
Maybe it would be easiest if you posted a chunk of your
flat file DB as a 'before' and 'after', with the 'after' section manually fixed.
