Yeah, right, I see. But how do I *do* it? <g> If I "group by" other stuff, I don't succeed in retrieving only one of each part. I have tried creating some kind of compound value from the fields to use to determining selection -- I've thought about some kind of subquery -- but it has me stumped (obviously). _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
