Louie,
Do you want just the most recent date? You could run :
SELECT MAX(dateposted)
FROM datafiles
WHERE office='AC/PA'
OR if you want just the "most recent" record:
SELECT dateposted, filename
FROM datafiles
WHERE office='AC/PA'
ORDER BY dateposted desc
LIMIT 1;
OR you could also ask for that same record this way (depending on your
MySQL version):
SELECT dateposted, filename
FROM datafiles d
INNER JOIN (SELECT MAX(dateposted) as maxdate
FROM datafiles
WHERE office='AC/PA') as mx
ON mx.maxdate = d.dateposted
WHERE office='AC/PA'
Yours,
