I tried another approach, selecting each field and then group on fld1 and fld2 as following:
Select MyField1, myField2 from myTable group by 1,2


But I get error that Group By expression must contain at least one column that is not an outer reference. My example above is simplified as I have 2 JOINS in the SQL Select. So I need to understand how to change the JOIN to make it work.

Thank you for your suggestions.

UPDATE: The solution was to use the field names in GROUP BY as:
Select MyField1, myField2 from myTable group by MyField1, myField2
