Tack on a "LIMIT 1" on the end of your query to limit the returned rows to 1.

I would like to allow the registration of identical products (unique serial numbers / owned by one user), without the user having to re-enter all their data. I've set up a page that allows them to just enter their login info (username and password) and the serial number of the product they want to register. What I need to do is grab their product preferences to be duplicated in the new record, however is they have more than one registered product, it throws off my plan. I only need one record to get the values that I need. (I know that duplicating values is not proper database form, however I need to allow the user to change their preferences on each owned product.)
