Question : Delete duplicate records

Hi,

I need to delete duplicate records from the following table "QuotesFile"
I have only to keep one record based on the max date of the "dateuploaded field"
Please, see the following example and xls attached
QuoteNumber    IID         CreateConvert      DateUploaded
A11222315      101327      1      14-Aug-09
A11222315      242106      1      28-Aug-09

The code below will delete all 218 records and  Ineed to keep one from one of each quote.

Code Snippet:
