Randy,
This would work with SQL server, however are you sure it's correct ? To me it sounds like this would fail if target date had more than one meettime ?

Apart from that below might be sample to formulate VFP counterpart :

create cursor myGrouper (Ino i, ddate d, irec i)
for ix = 1 to 20
  insert into myGrouper ;
	values (int(rand()*5), date()-int(rand()*100), ix)
endfor
select * from myGrouper order by 1,2

select * from myGrouper A where ddate = ;
(select max(ddate) from myGrouper B where a.ino = b.ino) ;
order by ino

What it does is to pull out last date rows per ino (dates are enetered in random order).
