Hi everyone!
Hope all is well.

I need some of your magical WebFocus Guru powers. I'll try to put this into an example.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAROWNER AS 'Owner of car'
CAKEMAKE
CARMODEL
DEALERSHIP AS 'Place owner takes Car for repairs'
DATEOFSERVICE AS 'Service Date'

Some "CAROWNERS" have had dozens of "DATESOFSERVICE", or service dates (multiple rows).
I'd like to only print 1 Date of Service and I need it to be the lowest/oldest date, their first date with the "DEALERSHIP" only.

My dates are keys, ie today's date of 12/12/12 is 4830 to us. Then I join to another table to turn it into something readable to users. Then I use WebFocus to change it to hmdyy.

I am lost. Frowner
Any help/advice is so appreciated. I've looked through... about 6 pages of forum searches and checked about 15 pages of the user manual.
Thanks for your time.
Oh So Grateful,
Shawna
