Trouble with Query using MAX

28 New Member
I'm having trouble with a query using "MAX". In my query I'm trying to use 2 date columns as my criteria. Here is the format for each column:

Date1:
01/01/2007

Date2:
200701

For my query, I'm trying to pull the Date1 values where the month of Date1 equals the Max month of Date2. Here is my coding:

Select Date1
FROM Table1
WHERE Month(Date1) = MAX(RIGHT(Date2 , 2))

But I'm getting the error: "An aggregate may not appear in the WHERE clause unless it is in a subquery contained in a HAVING clause or a select list, and the column being aggregated is an outer reference".

I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong. If someone could help me with some examples, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Select the Max date with a separate SELECT like this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Select Date1
  2. FROM Table1
  3. WHERE Month(Date1) = (SELECT MAX(RIGHT(Date2, 2)) FROM Table1)
  4.

This happens even with two...

Hello- I'm fairly new at using Microsoft Access and I'm having trouble getting a couple of things to work in my database. The first is that I have yet to find a way to get an append query to add only new records and not all the records. As an example, this query filters a list of property owners for duplicates and then appends to a table where they are assigned autonumer IDs. The problem is that I'm constantly entering new owners in and...
