Of course this generates the "Invaid Group By" error becuase I have not included the emplid in the group by. But, if I did, I would get all the emplyees. What do I need to change to get only the emplyee id with the max hours?

Tori,
Thanks for the reply but your solution gives me the max asgnhrs for each and every employee. I need only the employee with the max hours for each worktype.
