Selecting Top 1 in Query

[Halliarse]

Hi

I need help!!

I have 2 tables, tblCountries and tblTempSubscriptions
tblTempsubscriptions has a column CountryConv and is linked to tblTempSubscriptions by the field Country NR. The tblCountries may have multiple records that contain the same CountryConv and I want to only pick up the 1st occurence, possibly using TOP 1, sorting the tblCountries by ascending Country NR but I'm unable to get the query to do this....any ideas please?

I hope that makes sense!!

Thanks

Steve

I would probably use a totals query [qgrpMaxCountryNR] that

SELECT CountryConv, Min([Country NR]) as MaxCountryNR FROM tblCountries GROUP BY CountryConv

Then create a query that joins with qgrpMaxCountryNR using CountryConv and MaxCountryNR.

If you need to edit the results, you will probably need to use a subquery and identify the primary key field in tblCountries.
