I need the content id to perform an update. Is there no way to make it
function with the column?

What (if anything) are you doing with the contentid column? It is the
presence of that column that is throwing the monkey wrench into the query.
If you don't need it, get rid of it.

Because you have different values for your ContentID and DateDisplayEnd
columns, you can't do it in a single pass. You'll have to either used a
stored procedure to do it in 2 steps, or use a SubQuery (which I guess
is a "single pass" but I still kind of consider it a hacked-up way of
doing 2 steps).

Yeah. I tried DISTINCT and it didn't work nor did the GROUP BY.
It seems like there should be a simple solution but....maybe I'll
looking at
it too much :-)
Thanks. Any additional suggestions are welcome.

Well you could use DISTINCT(id) in your SELECT list or add a GROUP BY
clasue
on the ID. The DISTINCT is slower, but I don't think GROUP BY will work
as
you'd need to group by ALL fields in the SELECT list which may not work
for
you.
Also...if it's being output by CF you always have the option on using a
query of a query to get the proper groupings

Subject: return only one row for each id field that meets the

I have a query that returns the following information.
I need it to return only one row for each id field that meets the
criteria, which should be the 2 rows that are bolded( ids: 20 and 37).
QUERY:
----------------------------------------------
SELECT id, contentid, dateDisplayEnd
FROM dbo.tbl_menu_content
WHERE (dateDisplayEnd > GETDATE())
AND (contentQueueID = 2)
ORDER BY id, dateDisplayEnd
----------------------------------------------
RESULTS:
id contentid dateDisplayEnd
----------------------------------------------
