Hi!
SELECT pat_handle, last_name, first_name, gender,;
scantype, site, label, side, facility_i,;
Birth_time, Physician, Comments, Acq_time,;
BMD, Fracture_r, Percent_ya,;
Percent_am, Zsco_bmd_y, Zsco_bmd_a;
FROM working;
WHERE BMD IN ;
(SELECT MIN(BMD) FROM working;
WHERE scantype=19 AND (LABEL=4 OR LABEL=0) )
HTH.

>I want to retrieve the row that has the lowest (i.e. MIN() BMD. However, what the query is retrieving apparently, is the the four rows that meet all of the criteria in the WHERE clause, and then displaying the lowest value in the BMD field and data in the other fields from the bottom record of the retreived group of records. In other words, the single row that is displayed mixes data from more than one record. Odd this.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs
It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
