Kevin,
No you don't have to do 2 SQLs. max() returns just one record so you could use that as a scalar value in 'where'. ie:

where ddate = (select max(...) ...)

A sample that demonstrates this (from FoxyClasses tips) :

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

* This one is the tip *
select * from myGrouper A where ddate = ;
(select max(ddate) from myGrouper B where a.ino = b.ino) ;
order by ino

First a cursor created. Ino represents the FK and irec represents PK. Records are inserted where ddate is random (dates for a particular ino are out of order).
First SQL (select * from myGrouper order by 1,2) is there just to show how would be the dates if listed in order.
