Well, my point was to find out if it was absolutely necessary to find the *latest* status code or if you could just exclude any project IDs that ever had a status of 5 associated with them. From your response it seems that you do indeed need the latest status since a project could be closed and then re-opened.

It looks like David's proposed solution already takes that into account though.

Good luck! :)

Hadn't thought that far but yes. If it was reopened, another status entry would simply tnot be included this this query (since the latest status_state would not be "5"). So really, it shouldn't matter...right?

you said, "Where the Latest status update is..." does that mean that a project can be closed and then reopened?

OK, so where's what I have:

Clients Table (client_id, client_name)

Projects Table (project_id, project_client_idfk, project_name)

Status table (status_id, status_content, status_state, status_project_idfk, status_add_date)

One client can have multiple projects. A single project can have multiple status updates.

I'm trying to create a query that will output the following:

For each client, spit out all projects where the latest status update is not of status type 5 (closed)

So:

Client 1
- project 1
- project 3

Client 2
- project 4
- project 6


...and so on. Projects 2 and 5 have a status entry that's set to a value of 5, therefore are closed and don't need to be displayed.

How can I make this happen?

Thanks!
Jake
