it's time for another SQL question ...

here's the problem:

i have a table with event log information. it has a unique id for each entry (primary key), a user id, timestamp and other info.

getting the info out of the table is easy except for one particular way.

what i need is a page where i list all the last actions taken by any user per day.
meaning, if users xyz created 30 logentries today, i only want to show the latest for any given day.
so, the list should contain exactly ONE entry for each distinct user per day, showing his/her latest action ...

something like this, except, the query below doesn't work ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

CODE

SELECT * FROM tbl_EventLog WHERE iID IN (

  SELECT DISTINCT el.iUserID, dummy.iID FROM tbl_EventLog as el
  INNER JOIN tbl_EventLog as dummy ON dummy.iUserID = el.iUserID
  WHERE (el.dtCreated >= '3/26/2007 0:00:01 AM')

)



anyone?
