Question : Microsoft SQL 2005

I have a simple query that is looking at two tables and sees which has the higher date, if a date exists it shows my results from my table.

II get the following error:

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Select'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Incorrect syntax near 'Invoices'.

Code Snippet:
