I figured it out. I had to add a unique key column to the eventDates table. Here is the query for archival purposes:
Select eventID, eventName, eventDate from event inner join eventDates on event.eventID=eventDates.eventID where eventDateID IN (select top 1 eventDateID from eventDates where eventDate>#Now()# and eventDate.eventID=event.eventID order by eventDate asc) Now, the syntax might not be perfect, since I have a different db schema, but the gist of it should be there.

I want all the events, but joined to only 1 record in the eventDates per event... So originally the query will return something like this EventID eventName eventDate 1 my event 12/1/2005 1 my event 12/2/2005 1 my event 12/3/2005 1 my event 12/4/2005 1 my event 12/5/2005 2 my other event 12/4/2005 2 my other event 12/5/2005 Where I only want EventID eventName eventDate 1 my event 12/1/2005 2 my other event 12/4/2005 -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Lynch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 5:03 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Query Question I don't know about efficient, but try SELECT TOP 1 eventID.... That's if it's SQL Server, the over DBs will have something similar Ade -----Original Message----- From: Russ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 November 2005 21:56 To: CF-Talk Subject: Query Question I have 2 tables, for the sake of simplification lets say they look like this: EVENT eventID eventName EVENTDATES eventID eventDate Each event would be in the event table once, and possibly multiple times in the eventDates table. I want to have a query return one record for each event with the next eventDate from the eventDates table. So basically something like: Select eventID, eventName, eventDate from event inner join eventDates on event.eventID=eventDates.eventID where eventDate>#Now()# But I only want 1 record returned for each event. I know I can probably order by eventID and then do a cfoutput groupby, but I don't really want all those records coming back (I mean it will basically be number of records in the event table * number of records in the eventDates table). Is there a more efficient way of doing this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:224414 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
