Hi -

Your example doesn't show age. How are you computing it? If based on the
year ran, that could be a problem, i.e. today is 30 Sep, the runner's age
will differ by one year based on whether their birth date (mm/dd) is less
than or >= today's date (mm/dd). Think this would need to be resolved before
going on with further calculations.

I have a database of runners times on each course. I also have the
year they ran that time and their age that year. I am trying to make a
top 10 list for each age and a top 10 list for all runners on a
particular course.
The problem I am running into is that a runner may have had multiple
times on a certain course that are on the top 10 list. I only want
that particular runners' top time

For intance a top 10 result now may read

Matt 2006 16:56
Joe 2007 7:00
Matt 2005 17:11
Matt 2006 17:16
Matt 2007 17:24
Joe 2005 17:25
Fred 2006 17:34

etc...

I want it ot just return
Matt 2006 16:56
Joe 2007 17:00
Fred 2006 17:34

and then fill in the rest of the top 10

Obviously the only portion that is a duplicate is the name and course.
The year may or may not be different. The times will be different. The
age may or may not be different.

any ideas?
