Hi

I am not sure if my interpretation is the same as Hugos!
If all 4 rows returned are below the maximum what should happen?

SELECT TOP 4 t1a.OrderID
FROM TABLE1 t1a
LEFT JOIN TABLE2 t2a ON t1.OrderId = t2a.OrderId AND @UserId =
t2a.UserId
WHERE t2.OrderID IS NULL
AND t1a.OrderID > ( SELECT MAX(t1b.OrderID) FROM TABLE1 t1b
JOIN TABLE2 t2b ON t1b.OrderId = t2b.OrderId AND @UserId = t2b.UserId )

ORDER BY t1a.OrderID DESC
