Then, I'm not sure I understand your question.

> I want all of the newest records and ignore older matching records

Please define "newest records" (since a given date or since the last query?).

And what do you mean by "matching records"? Are two or more tables involved?

>>>When I run my SELECT I get the most current date but the field ListSelectId (which is a key into another table is for another record). I tried GROUP BY MAX(StateCountAsOf) and HAVING BY MAX(StateCountAsOf) but get syntax errors. I can't use StateCountId in my GROUP BY because I then get all records (since it is the key field).
