I am looking to return one row from groups of the same EpisodeID whereby the row with the minimum date is selected each time. This includes returning all other fields in the row such as EventID below and ideally others as well if that will be possible.
To illustrate I include the following. What Access 2003 query would I need to return all the rows with the earliest dates? EventID will be unique in the intial table.
