"Select single * " in ACCESS 2000

I am using Access2000 . In a query window, after selection of a group
of records using aggregate function "group by", I want to
retrieve only one record from each group including ungrouped fields
also.
For example, from the following records,

A B C
A B D
A B E
A H F
A H G,
i am grouping on first and second fields . I want results
like this:
A B C
A H G .
The selection of C, D or E could be first matching value or random ,
but it must be included in the results.

Is this possible in Access ? Is there any workaround ?

Thanks in advance .

Create field "fldNewFiel d: left([oldfield],2)" and group on that

Then change the parameter for the old field from "Group by" to "Last"
or "First".

Using "SELECT * " is a bad practice even when using a VIEW instead of a table? I have some stored procedures that are identical with the difference of one statement in the WHERE clause. If I create a single View and specify also in this View the WHERE clause that is common in these stored procedures, I will have the new stored procecures changed to be like:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
