I am trying make a join and get last 3 records lastmodified by datetime.
Can you please tell me how do i need to make a join:

SELECT c.CNID,p.projno
FROM tab_cn c, tab_projects p where c.projid = p.projid and
(
select Top 3 *
from TAB_CN
ORDER BY last_modified DESC
) X
ORDER BY last_modified ASC

Thank you very much for the help.
