Is there a reason why your adding the [0], is zero hard coded in your code? What other code do you have? as this looks good to me (except the 0)

Is it a before or after trigger?

Your trigger code would help us here!

If you are working in a specific VF, make sure that <apex:message> exist in the page.

My code is as follows.
Trigger duplicates on account(before insert){

if(trigger.new[0].Name==trigger.old[0].name)
{
;
Trigger.New[0].name.adderror('Duplicate entry found. There already exists an entry for the same Record. Please update the old one');
}
}

Hi,

if you are using a before insert tigger , the value of trigger.old is null.

so what i suggest for you to do the below

1- put all the value of trigger.new[0].Name in a list of string.
2- select the account object and put a where conidtion that name in the list of string created.
3- after that you need to verify it exist or not.

Good Luck
