I tried this subquery with an ODBC database that I queried with SQL commands. It does
not work properly because there were groups of which two or more items were shown.
That should be avoided ;-( But your concept is clear and I'm really surprised why
max(date) does not limit the output to one.
Nevertheless, thanks a lot for your tip. Has anyone else an idea???
Thanks,
Fabian
