Question : Access query to select highest number in field

I have a table in MS Access 2007 comprised of four fieldsjob, job name, pay end date and hours.  I would like to create a query to select for each job the single pay end date with the most hours in the simplest manner.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer : Access query to select highest number in field

Try this:


SELECT t1.job, t1.jobname, t1.payend_dt, t1.SumOfglhours
FROM tblJobHrs t1 INNER JOIN
      (SELECT t2.job, Max(t2.SumOfglhours) AS MaxHrs
      FROM TblJobHrs t2
      GROUP BY t2.job) AS z ON t1.job = z.job And t1.SumOfglhours = z.MaxHrs
ORDER BY t1.job
