I have two tables: one with person information and the other with a
person's status changes/updates. (A person's status can go from
Prospective to Current to Completed.)



Code:
Person Table:
UserName FullName
jsmith Joe Smith
bjones Bob Jones
cblack Carol Black

Status Table:
UserName Status DateChanged
jsmith Prospective 1/1/2006
bjones Prospective 1/2/2006
jsmith Current 3/3/2006
cblack Prospective 3/3/2006
bjones Current 4/4/2006
bjones Completed 5/5/2006

>From the Status Table it's obvious that "bjones" is Completed,
"cblack" is Prospective, and "jsmith" is Current. But I'm not sure how
to grab this info from these tables in a select. I'm thinking I might
need the MAX(DateChanged) in there somewhere, but I have no clue how
to use it.

Eventually my goal is to say "show me all the names of the people who
are Current".

Any ideas? Thanks in advance, I am terrible at SQL queries!
