Derick,
If you don't specify all non-aggregate in the Group By cluase, VFP returns the values for the non-specified fields from the record located physically last in the the table corresponding to the group. Try adding a subquery and concatenate a few fields.

Ex.

SELECT Invoice.invoice, Invoice.Date, Invoice.amount, Invoice.file_num FROM openclose!invoice where invoice+dtos(invoice.date) in ;
   (select itab.invoice+dtos(max(itab.date) from invoice as itab group by itab.invoice)

That should match the date with the amount and file_num fields. As long as there aren't mulitple occurrences of invoice and date, you should get singular records in your result set.

HTH.
