OK, I'm pretty sure you won't want "max(user_name)", as I doubt that would hold any significance.

I think I know the answer, but just to be sure, can post the relevant details for about 10 rows or so? (list them out, screen shot, whatever).

Thanks

>However, the table MyTable could have more than one record of the same Date (DateTimeField). And I want another field from the most recent record (e.g. USER_NAME). So, if I add to the SQL Select you suggested, the MAX(USER_NAME), will the SQL Select get the USER_NAME from the same record it gets from the MAX( CAST( DateTimeField))? Or the field/value from USER_NAME will be taken from ANY of the records of the same DateTimeField?
