I have a database of 20000 invoices made up of 150 vendors. Is there a way to query for 5 random invoices from each vendor? Of course if the vendor has only 4 invoices then it would only be possible to query for 4.

Thanks

If they don't need to be random you could use the TOP 5 clause in your SELECT statement....
