	| Hi, thanks so much for responding.  I tried every select statement in your reply but I am not getting the result.  The first one I got the message "Not a single group group function".  And with the second one I am getting the same result with what I had before.  What I am getting is simply just a column of values in desc order.  Is it how Max function works?  I only want the one record which has the max value.  I did this(following your second sample): 
 Select DeptID, Month, Amt
 From tblSales
 where Amt in
 (Select Max(Amt)
 From tblSales group by DeptID, Month)
 and DeptID=123;
 
 The result I got was
 DeptID   Month     Amt
 123      Jan       300
 123      Feb       200
 123      March     100
 
 What I want is:
 DeptID   Month     Amt
 123      Jan       300
 
 Did I do anything wrong?  Thanks again.
