Is there a better sub query??

Is there a better sub query??

Is there a better sub query??

(OP)
Hello-

Does anyone know of a better way?

DATA
====================================
COMPRT                  DATE          QTY   PARENT
91879                      7/8/2008    1       92614                         
91880                      7/8/2008    1       92614                         
92616                      7/8/2008    0       92614                         
92616                      2/7/2008    1       92614                         
92628                      2/8/2008    1       92614                         


I want to select unique COMPRT where DATE is max and QTY is  not 0 as show in the following:

====================================
COMPRT                  DATE          QTY   PARENT
91879                      7/8/2008    1       92614                         
91880                      7/8/2008    1       92614                                                 
92628                      2/8/2008    1       92614                       

Here is my query.  

CODE

SELECT p1.COMPRT, p1.QTY
    FROM DATA p1
    WHERE p1.DATE IN
        (
            SELECT max(p2.DATE)
            FROM DATA p2
            WHERE p2.PARENT =  '92614'
            GROUP BY p2.COMPRT
        )
    AND p1.PARENT =  '92614'
    AND p1.QTY > 0
    ORDER BY p1.COMPRT
The problem is that I would like to get the data into excel using a cell value for PARENT but having PARENT in two places doesn't seem to work.  I get a message saying " SQLBindParameter has not been called for parameters #2." when using PARENT = [?] in both locations.
