    ms access - lookup / find product name for lowest price in category

    Hi,

    I've got a table with the following information:

    Vendor ProductCategory Price


    farm1 apples $1
    farm2 apples $2
    store1 bandaids $10
    store2 bandaids $7

    I want to run a query to find the minimum price for each category, and also show the vendor. So the result should be:

    Vendor ProductCategory Price
    farm1 apples $1
    store2 bandaids $7

    Of course, if I group by category and the minimum of price, it will find the cheapest in category, but I'll lose visibility to the vendor. I've tried setting it up as two tables - a product table and a product category table, but it hasn't worked so far.

    Thanks for the help!

    If you bring in the table again and create links on both the cost and the item and bring down the vendor it should dispplay the correct vendor.
