This is probably an easy one but I just thought I would talk a little bit about it so to obtain the best way to do it.

Presently, I have two select commands which goes like this:
SELECT TOP 1 Invoice.ApprovedPersonName FROM Invoice WHERE Invoice.NoClient=Client.Numero ORDER BY Invoice.AddDate
SELECT TOP 1 Invoice.ApprovedPersonName FROM Invoice WHERE Invoice.NoClient=Client.Numero ORDER BY Invoice.AddDate DESC
I would say this can be done with one select command with the use of MIN(), MAX(). However, I am not sure if this would always be adequate:
SELECT MIN(Invoice.ApprovedPersonName) AS FirstOne,MAX(Invoice.ApprovedPersonName) AS LastOne
 FROM Invoice WHERE Invoice.NoClient=Client.Numero ORDER BY Invoice.AddDate
Is this about the proper way to do it?
