>>I have two tables - we'll call them Customer and Bill. A customer can have zero or many bills, and it is linked by the CustomerID. What I want to do is pull a customer by CustomerID and also pull their last bill only if it is within 30 days old. If there isn't a bill that fits that criteria, I want null value.
