Just to close this thread- I ended up using the SQL below: <sql> SELECT t1.* FROM tblClubs AS t1 LEFT JOIN tblClubs AS t2 ON (t1.fldIDClubs<t2.fldIDClubs) AND (t1.fldClubCode=t2.fldClubCode) WHERE t2.fldIDClubs IS NULL ORDER BY t1.fldClubCode; </sql> It works fine in A97, A2k3, and MySQL 4.0.23a. My problem seemed to stem from the fact that version 4.0.23 of mySQL does not support the MAX function. Thanks to everybody who contributed ideas and solutions!
