My table consists of two fields, doc and issue. The data looks like-

Doc101, A
Doc102, A
Doc102, B
Doc103, A
Doc103, B
Doc103, C
Doc103, D

I am trying to construct a query that returns the highest letter issue for each doc group. So in the case of the above data my query would return

Doc101, A
Doc102, B
Doc103, D
Thanks for any help here

How about:

[tt]SELECT Table1.Doc, Max(Table1.Issue) AS MaxOfIssue
FROM Table1
GROUP BY Table1.Doc;[/tt]
