OK, got a bit of a fun SQL problem. I have a table that contains a distance floating point value. Given a certain record, I need to find the closest distance above and below it in a seperate table (Same physical measurement system though, so I can extrapolate the data. Is it possible to select the first record above and below for a certain value? IE: I want data at distance 5. However, the table has: 1 3.4 4.1 6.3 So, the SQL query should return records 4.1 and 6.3 so I can extrapolate data from them. If this isn't possible, what would be the next best thing? Maybe two queries that did something such as TOP 1 Distance>5 and TOP 1 Distance<5? Thanks -- Josh McFarlane "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding." -Albert Einstein
