>I am wondering how I can get the record for a certain MemberID; there are several records of termination for this one person, and they are valid because the person had insurance coverage at various points in time and eventually allowed his coverage to Terminate for one reason or another.

One possibility:

select MI.* from MemberInfo MI where DateFld = (select max(DateFld) from MemberInfo MI1 where MI1.MemberID = MI.MemberID)

select top 1 * from MemberInfo where memberID = @lnID order by DateFld DESC
