So far my code is:

SELECT type,desc,* FROM wipdata!logfile tl   WHERE  Date  =  (SELECT MAX(date)  FROM logfile WHERE Jobno = tl.Jobno AND Type = tl.Type) into cursor tmptrans

So to look up the employees/operators name from another table in SQL I would usually do something like this:

SELECT *,CNAME FROM wipdata!logfile,wipdata!operators where OPERATOR=NEMPNO into cursor tmptrans

How do I insert the above into my code so far, as soon as I add wipdata!operators
into the syntax that seems to mess up my grouping and I don't just get the last
record for each type?

Give us a clue... LOL
