Dear all,
I have a query (qrySource) that pulls the following information from my database.
ID: Autonumber
PlayerID: Numeric
TestID: Text
Score: Numeric
There are 6 tests and it is possible to score between 3 and 8 on each of the tests. Players can take the tests as many times as they like and their score is recorded in the database on each occasion.
A sample of the data for one player in two tests (AR and EC) is shown below ...
I then have a second query that should return the top two scores from each player in each test. The SQL for that query is posted below.
I cannot get this query to distinguish between duplicate scores and it returns all values despite me trying to Order By ID which is a unique value. The above query returns ...
Instead of what I want it to return, which is ...
Am I doing something wrong? Is the SQL in the right order?
Many thanks in anticipation of your help,
Dave
