Allen writes "I have an SQL2000 database with 2 fields. One is a date field, the other is simple bit field (yes/no). The database has several records, but at any one time only at most one record will have the bit field set to "yes". What I want to do (and I'm writing to see if it can be done) is run a query that first looks to see if any record has a yes in the bit field, and if so returns that record, and if not returns a Recordset ordered by date. Is this possible without using multiple queries and thus using up more resources? Thanks!"
