The date part of the datetime is the same the time part differs but the time part is irrelevant to this report. I was able to get this to work by dropping the date out of the first query then running a second query in the cfoutput of the first query:
<cfquery name="rsGetPurchaseDate" datasource="#application.dsn#" username="#application.dsnUsername#" password="#application.dsnPassword#" maxrows="1"> SELECT pur_Date_Purchased FROM tbl_HCFA_Purchase_Transactions WHERE Check_Num = #Check_Num# ORDER BY pur_Date_Purchased DESC </cfquery> This just seems like a hack and it takes a lot of time for the page to run now from 130ms up to 1380ms now on 200 records. I am just looking for a way to cut the timestamp off of the date in the first query. I didn't realize in my first question that the GROUP BY needed exact matching entries and has to group everything in the original SELECT I am using an ACCESS database and am curious how I would use min( or max( to get the oldest date for the current group. I tried putting max(pur_Date_Purchased) in my GROUP BY clause and am told no aggregate functions are allowed in GROUP BY.
