Is there a way to combine the two below into one SQL statement so that only 

one recordset needs to be opened?



SQLT = "SELECT Max(Mail_Date) AS NewMail FROM tblMail"



SQLT = "SELECT Max(Billing_Date) AS NewBilling From tblBilling"



Thanks



John

John,



You could try:



    SQLT =        "SELECT Max(Mail_Date) AS aMax, "MaxMail" as aName FROM

tblMail "

    SQLT = SQLT & "UNION "

    SQLT = SQLT & "SELECT Max(Billing_Date) AS aMax, "MaxBilling" as aName

FROM tblBilling "



This wil result in something like:



    aMax          aName   

    ------------- ---------- 

    dec-12-2000   MaxBilling

    dec-09-2000   MaxMail



    (2 row(s) affected)
