Hi folks.
I reexamined my contribution, and while the explanation is correct, the solution is wrong. My solution would not get the correct price information. It turns out that a correlated subquery is required:

SELECT Cust, Date, Price FROM Test t1;
WHERE Date IN(SELECT MAX(Date) FROM Test t2 WHERE t1.Cust == t2.Cust)

(Thanks to my colleague Wes Anderson for reminding me that tables can be aliased in VFP queries)
Note: If there is more than one record on the last date, multiple records will be returned. Perhaps a time field would help.
