Try using the Case statement.

Select Answer =3D
	Case
		When Field1 < Field2 Then Field1
		Else Field2
	End
From YourTable

Hi Ken

I understand the Min() in  an Aggregate function and finds the smallest
number in a column.  I need something that compares two columns and
returns
the smallest value.
