Hello,
I need help with what seems to be a basic problem. I'm going to try to cut out all of the superfluous elements and explain it in the following way:
Say I have a query which is pulling data (in memo form) that records different language I have used to summarize different cases I am involved in, in different reports that have been produced over the past several years.
Some cases are summarized in several different reports, some cases are only summarized in one report. The main table in question assigns a unique ID number to each summary, recording what its a summary of (i.e. which case it summarizes, which it selects from another table), and which report it was in (which it selects from another table).
Each report is dated, and so each summary is dated by proxy.
It is easy for me to make a query that lists all summaries sorted first by the name of the case being summarized, and sorted second by the date of the report in which the summary appeared.
What I would like to be able to do is the following: for every unique case name, I want to return only the most recent summary. I.e. I don't want to return multiple summaries for case names for which there are multiple summaries stored in the underlying table, but only the most recent one.
I hope that wasn't too convoluted.
Thanks,
Jay
