Hi, I am not sure if this went through the first time so here it is again. <br /> <p>Ok what I am trying to do is
selectout of the database the latest record meeting a certain criteria. <p>Example: <p>Number |
Fruit | Date <br />15 Apples July 20, 1999 <br
/>20 Oranges June 7, 2000 <br />13
Pears Jan 31, 2000 <br />17 Apples April 10, 1999 <br />Now what I
needto do is select the oranges out because the date is the latest one, something like: <p>select * from basket where
max(date);<br />This would yield me: <br />20 Oranges June 7, 2000 <p>I know this
doesn'twork but I need something like it. <br />or something like <p>select * from basket where max(date) and
fruit='Apples';<br />This would yield me: <br />15 Apples July 20, 1999
<p>Thankyou in advance, <br /> <pre>--
