Max () query problem

Say I have a table like this (just for example)

ID Date Name
__ ____ _____
1 1/2/2004 Store A
2 1/1/2004 Store A
3 1/3/2004 Store B
4 1/2/2004 Store B

Say I wanted to get the rows for the maximum dates for stores A and B
aka this record set..

ID Date Name
__ ____ _____
1 1/2/2004 Store A
3 1/3/2004 Store B

How would I got about doing this in sql?

thanks

-JimSELECT id, date, name
FROM SomeTable AS T
WHERE date =
(SELECT MAX(date)
FROM SomeTable
WHERE name = T.name)
