Database query, part of records

[Peter]

Hello!
I have some records in a database (access), like this:

001111-10
001111-11
001111-12
002222-10
002222-11
002222-12

I need to retrive the first record of each sequence, "001111-10" and
"002222-10" in the example above.

Next part is I need to show only the first part of each record,
"001111" and "002222" on an Active Server Page (ASP).

Help with any part of this would be appreciated.

It's an ASP question, but you didn't post to any ASP groups. In fact,
you hit only groups where this would be off topic. Try posting to
microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.db
