Hello,
I have a table with the file location of images and their sizes as fields. I want to return the fiel location field of the largest image. Using MAX(fieldsize) gets me the right record, but how do I return a different field?

SQL
SELECT MAX(fldItemSize) FROM tblItemImagePaths
    WHERE fldSupplierID = @SupplierID
    AND fldSupplierCode = @SupplierCode


when I include the requried field, the query then returns two lines of data. Yes, I'm new to this :)

SQL
SELECT        MAX(fldItemSize) AS Expr1, fldItemPath
FROM            tblItemImagePaths
WHERE        (fldSupplierID = @SupplierID) AND (fldSupplierCode = @SupplierCode)
GROUP BY fldItemPath

select top 1 myfield from tblItemImagePaths where ... ORDER BY fldItemSize DESC

is one obvious way to go.

select myfield from tblITemImagePaths where .... AND fldItemSize = MAX(fldItemSize)

is another.
