[AccessD] Subquery

Sorry, sloppy on my part.  It should be

WHERE [qry Produced Gas CO2 Analysis].Sample_Date=(Select
Max(qry2.Sample_Date) from (SELECT [qry Produced Gas CO2 Analysis].*)  As
qry2 WHERE qry2.Meter_ID=[qry Produced Gas CO2 Analysis].Meter_ID)

Try that.  Think of the subquery (qry2) as a table that produces a specific
kind of result. So this part is the subquery:   (SELECT [qry Produced Gas
CO2 Analysis].*) As qry2
