That is right. Instead of:

SELECT field1,field2,max(field3) FROM Table1 GROUP BY field1

which was allowed, you need to put all your non-aggrgates in the GROUP BY, like:

SELECT field1,field2,max(field3) FROM Table1 GROUP BY field1,field2

VFP9 will show an error message when the GROUP BY is not complete. I must say I prefer that to the old situation.
