I constantly bump up against this issue and am looking for a good solution. I want a query that will return multiple rows, but only one row per unique identifier in one field.
For instance, if I have the following table: Name | Food | Eat_Date Bob | Hot Dog | 2005-06-25 Jan | Pizza | 2005-06-27 Jim | Salad | 2005-05-25 Bob | Soup | 2005-06-03 Ann | Toast | 2005-06-13 Jim | Pizza | 2005-06-28 I want to be able to pull the most recent food by each name without running multiple queries. I need a query that would give the results: Bob | Hot Dog | 2005-06-25 Jan | Pizza | 2005-06-27 Ann | Toast | 2005-06-13 Jim | Pizza | 2005-06-28 Anyone have ideas of how to do this in one query?
