Can you copy your straight SQL that works into your SQL view of access? I have had some luck copying SQL from other data sources, such as Oracle, then pasting it in an access query SQL view. Sometimes I have to do a little editing, but it may be worth a shot. Also, is your data in one table with a single row for each record, or many tables containing pieces of the whole information? Can you post your table(s) structure. Example: tblExample Name UID Subj SubjID "Glenda Wells" <gwells@xxxxxxxxxxx To: <mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent by: cc: mso-bounce@freelist s.org Subject: [mso] Re: Access Query 01/10/2005 03:22 PM Please respond to ..... mso it's a bear and something I've tried to resolve from time to time. In straight SQL (PL/SQL) I can get the desired result by making a query with the table listed twice, first to get the max then to get the relationship. I can't remember what that's called...subquery? not sure. Anyway, I was looking for something similar in Access either with SQL or VBA. =20 -----Original Message----- From: Cathy.Evans@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:Cathy.Evans@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 02:49 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Access Query I'm sorry, am stumped without being able to make additional queries to summarize the subject, though I'm sure it can be done, and pretty sure the subj field is causing the problem, cause when you remove it, the max works fine. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain proprietary, business-confidential and/or privileged material.
