I'm new to this list, but have searched through the archives and haven't found anything that addresses my question.
First a little background: I'm creating a supply ordering system. Each supply order may be modified many times before being approved and finally filled. I created the following databases: Supplyorder uid double (auto) (pk) site double date date Supplyorderhistory uid double (auto) (pk) supplyorderuid double status double Supplyorderlineitems uid double (auto) (pk) supplyorderhistoryuid double other fields ... Each time an existing supply order is modified a new history record is created so we have a paper trail of all the changes made to the order and the specific line items ordered are associated with the history record. I want to select for a given date all sites that have the last history record with a certain status. This will select the last history record for each site: SELECT MAX(h.uid), site FROM supplyorder AS s, supplyorderhistory AS h WHERE h.supplyorderuid = s.uid AND date = '2007-01-08' GROUP BY s.uid But if I do this: SELECT MAX(h.uid), site FROM supplyorder AS s, supplyorderhistory AS h WHERE h.supplyorderuid = s.uid AND date = '2007-01-08' and status = '2' GROUP BY s.uid Max just becomes the last history record with a status of 2. I understand why it is working this way and that it is working correctly, I just don't know how to get what I want out of it. Thanks in advance for any help.
