Hi,  I am not sure if this went through the first time so here it is again.
 

Ok what I am trying to do is select out of the database the latest record meeting a certain criteria.

Example:

Number             |        Fruit         |     Date
15                                Apples          July 20, 1999
20                                Oranges        June 7, 2000
13                                 Pears            Jan 31, 2000
17                                 Apples         April 10, 1999
Now what I need to do is select the oranges out because the date is the latest one, something like:

select * from basket where max(date);
This would yield me:
20                                Oranges        June 7, 2000

I know this doesn't work but I need something like it.
or something like

select * from basket where max(date) and fruit='Apples';
This would yield me:
15                                Apples          July 20, 1999

Thank you in advance,
