Looking for suggestions on setting up our search results page

Question

We are now about 4 months into a project.. and its now
getting to the point
that our archive table has got duplicate records( this is a
good thing )
So in our archive table we allow our employee data to be in
there multiple
times ( keeping history of each time frame an employee has
worked here )
So since the employee regardless of how many times they have
worked for us,
is always issues the same employee number for payroll
purposes... we had to
find a way to make the records unique
So the table was designed so that any employee that has
multiple records
would have a record count that would then make it unique.
Example...
Employee # Name Work TimeLine RecId
2222 Dave 1999-2001
1
2232 John 1998 - 1999
1
2222 Dave 2003-2005
2
2222 Dave 2005-2007
3
Currently our search would display all 3 records but since
they all have the
same Employee#( which is how the page is currently setup to
display the
current record )
How can we update our detail page to display employee#2222
recid 1
Since we currently have the page using the "Go to detail"
page using the
employee# obviously if you have multiple records with the
same ID the detail
page will not work..
So is it possible to pass 2 values to the detail page to
display the correct
record? or any suggestions on what changes we can make..
I guess when you stare at something for so long you don't see
the obvious
solutions...
Any help or idea on how to update this would be great..
thanks
