Hi Dmitry, from what you explained I think this will work:
SELECT a.DATE_FLD, a.ORDER_NO, a.FIELD2, a.FIELD3
FROM MyTable a
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT DATE_FLD, MAX(ORDER_NO) AS ORDER_NO
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY DATE_FLD
) b ON a.DATE_FLD = b.DATE_FLD AND a.ORDER_NO = b.ORDER_NO
ORDER BY a.DATE_FLD, a.ORDER_NO
I hope this solves your needs.

>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I am creating a SQL Select that will select ONE record based on two fields. The two fields are DATE_FLD and ORDER_NO field. There could be more than one records with the same DATE_FLD value (e.g. "01/01/2023) but the ORDER_NO will be different for each record. I need to select a record with the largest value in the ORDER_NO field.

>>>UPDATE. I think the problem I have is defining the ORDER BY clause correctly. What am I missing?
