This message has been marked as a message which has helped to the initial question of the thread.
>How can I build a single record parent-child view with all the child values coming from the same record? The child record should supply date, amount and otherfield values, but all of them from the record with max(date). Using max(amount) and max(otherfield) gives values that aren't what I need. For this example, I need 6/1/2004, $90.00, Abacus.
