Instead of the ORDER BY clause, you need a GROUP BY clause at the end of your SQL.
You need to group by all columns that are not aggregated and are not constants. SELECT ai.Product_ID, ai.Status, ai.reserve_price, ai.date_enddate, MAX(DISTINCT ab.Bid_Amount) AS HighBid FROM Auction_Items ai, Auction_Bids ab WHERE ai.Status = 'ACTIVE' AND ai.date_EndDate < #createODBCDate(now())# AND ai.Product_ID = ab.Product_ID AND ai.Reserve_Price <= ab.Bid_Amount GROUP BY ai.Product_ID, ai.Status, ai.reserve_price, ai.date_enddate Michael Traher Systems Manager ICLP (London) This e-mail may contain privileged and confidential information and/or copyright material and is intended for the use of the addressee only.
