    Getting the most current record for an invoice

    Hi, i'm not 100% sure whether the problem i'm having is structure related or whether it's because my SQL/queries isn't the best, basically i have a table which contains a PK which is an autonumber so records can be uniquely identified, a batchnumber field, a invoicenumber field, a batchdate field, and the rest of the fields contain details about the invoice ie invoice amount, etc


    Below is an example of the relevant fields in the table:

    PK batchnumber invoicenumber batchdate
    0 2112 10123 10/04/2007
    1 2112 10152 10/04/2007
    2 2521 10123 14/04/2007
    3 2130 10155 12/04/2007
    4 2525 10123 11/04/2007

    Basically what i need to be able to do is build a list of the most current record of all invoices as of a specified date, for example if the date specified was 11/04/2007 then the output would be

    PK batchnumber invoicenumber batchdate
    1 2112 10152 10/04/2007
    3 2130 10155 12/04/2007
    4 2525 10123 11/04/2007

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Shot in the dark...

    I am not sure I follow this question, but I am thinking you may want to run two queries. The first query would be a Total query where you group by invoice number and look for the Max(PK). In other words, you would find the most recent record for each invoice. The second query would consist of the original list and the Total query linked by the PK where you can display the other information associated with the most recent record.

    Hope this helps.
