Re: DISTINCT and MAX

I think Ole wants the order numbers for the MAX order date.... but he accidentally put the wrong word.

Ole if you want all order numbers that occurred on the MAX order date, I think you may find that you have a time component recorded in your date, hence only one order coming back. i.e. Your order date records that day and time that the order occurred.
