I really think it is. You seem to be misunderstanding how GROUP BY works. In any other database than MySQL, the SQL you wrote would simply give an error. In MySQL, it gives you random results for all but the grouped column. The example I pointed to will give you the values from the row with the MAX date for each person. Actually, this example is more complete for you, since it gets all the rows rather than one: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/example-maximum-column-group-row.html - Perrin -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
