Birgitta, That is exactly what I thought and also tried adding PRCUOM = 'CS' but doing this is still showing item 'b' two times with PRCUOM as '99' in one record and 'CS' in one record. Am I missing something here? Thanks again for your assistance. cheers, Jake. On 11/3/06, HauserBirgitta <Hauser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

CTEs). And it's even possible to use a CTE in an other CTE. In the following example the ItemNo with the highest Sales (including the total sales) will be determined. Example: with a as (select ItemNo as aItemNo, sum(Sales) as SalesPerItem from Sales group by ItemNo), b as (Select Max(SalesPerItem) as MaxSales from a) select a.* from a join b on SalesPerItem = MaxSales ; Mit freunlichen Grüßen / Best regards Birgitta Hauser "Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."

I appreciate and thank you all for all the suggestions. Birgitta, Thanks a bunch for the CTE suggestion. It helped out a great deal. I am almost through but for a small problem.
