Re: Help with SQL statement - Thanks

For this, you need a derived table:

select
from   Payments    p
join
(
select   CustomerNo
,   Date = max (Date)
from   Payments
group by   CustomerNo
)  as x on x.CustomerNo = p.CustomerNo          and p.Date = x.Date

There is a table called "Payments" which records every payment that a
company has received:

CustomerNo     Date    Amount
----------------------------------------
3214                2/12    30
3214                4/10    50
9943                4/18    40
9943                5/10    30
9943                2/13    70
1121                5/23    10
1121                4/20    40
1121                3/12    30
(more data...)


I want to be able to pull out the last payment made by everyone in a query:

CustomerNo     Date    Amount
---------------------------------------
3214                4/10    50
9943                5/10    30
1121                5/23    10
(other users...)

How should I write the SQL statement? Please email to me at
henry_lu@hotmail.com. Thank you very much.
