Hi ,
I have a list of data as show below ,
Data1 Update Date
-- --
1 01-01-2004
2 01-01-2004
3 01-01-2004
1 01-01-2005
2 01-01-2005

How can I build a query to select the "latest" update date data from this
list ?

Hi Travis,
Your question is not reallly clear. Providing expected output would have
been helpful. (And posting CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements even more;
check www.aspfaq.com/5006).
Anywway, here are two possible answers for two possible interpretations
of your question:
SELECT MAX("Update Date")
FROM YourTable
SELECT Data1, MAX("Update Date")
FROM YourTable
GROUP BY Data1
