[AccessD] Getting the Top 3 Records of every n

Gustav,
  It was actually pretty simple, I received this from another colleague

SELECT CustomerID, OrderDate
FROM Orders
WHERE OrderID In (SELECT TOP 3 OrderID FROM Orders O WHERE O.CustomerID =
Orders.CustomerID ORDER BY OrderDate Desc)
ORDER BY CustomerID, OrderDate DESC;

which actually does what I needed.
