    I've got a table that looks something like this:
    
    
     CODE	Number	OtherValues
     AAA	0	blah
     AAA	2 	foo
     BBB	1	bletch
     BBB	5	fluffle
     CCC	0	barney
     CCC	3	fred
     DDD	0	Mickey
     DDD	2	Minnie
     EEE	5	Goofy
     FFF	2	Donald
     FFF	4	Huey
     FFF	4	Dewy
     FFF	5	Louie
    
    What I need to do, preferrably in a Query, is to find the record for
    each code with the minimum value in "Number"...
    
     AAA        0       blah
     BBB        1       bletch
     CCC        0       barney
     DDD        0       Mickey
     EEE        5       Goofy
     FFF        2       Donald
    
    
    Ideas?

| I created a tbale from your data that looks like this: Code Number OtherValues AAA 0 blah AAA 2 foo BBB 1 bletch BBB 5 fluffle CCC 0 barney CCC 3 fred DDD 0 Mickey DDD 2 Minnie EEE 5 Goofy FFF 2 Donald FFF 4 Huey FFF 4 Dewy FFF 5 Louie And created a query using the "totals" button, the SQL code for which looks like this: SELECT DISTINCTROW Table1.Code, Min(Table1.Number) AS MinOfNumber, First(Table1.OtherValues) AS FirstOfOtherValues FROM Table1 GROUP BY Table1.Code; and teh result looks like this: Code MinOfNumber FirstOfOtherValues AAA 0 blah BBB 1 bletch CCC 0 barney DDD 0 Mickey EEE 5 Goofy FFF 2 Donald Took less than a minute of clicking!

|     First -- thanks much.  I was digging in the 'totals query' area but
    somehow hadn't come across First.
