For example: I have a table (called "WEEK") with certain data from patients, that stay in a hospital typically between 3 and 6 month. Data in this table are gathered weekly. I have another table in which there are other data (SCL-90-R in that case) gathered in 4 week- intervals. All patients have a unique number "DSNR". Both tables of course have a Date-field (called "DATUM). How can I build a SQL-statement that gives me in each row: DSNR, admission date ( MIN(week.datum) ?? ), discharge date ( MAX(week.datum) ?? ), SCL.scores from the first week (same date as MIN(week.datum) ) and scl.scores from MAX(week.datum). In addition I would like to have the scl-scores from that date, that is closest to mid-treatmen, where mid-treatment can be computed as MIN(week.datum)+((MAX(week.datum)-MIN(week.datum))/2). Any idea (if I suceeded to make clear, what I need)? Regards, N. Hartkamp
