Hi Rick,

If the table that you have is called Table1 and the selections are in
Table2, then use the following query:

SELECT t.Name, t.Date, t.Data
FROM Table1 AS t
INNER JOIN Table2 AS s
ON t.Name = s.Name
AND t.Date > s.Date

And before you ask "yeah, but how do I _get_ my array or list into
Table2", click on the link below to read what Erland has to say about
it:
