I have a MS Access database full of customer names and addresses. I want to send out a mailing but only one per address. Therefore if there are 3 different customers at the address I want only one row. Here is the basic query I have so far:
Group Fname Lname Address
So my first attempt was:
SELECT DISTINCT Customers.[Address 1]
FROM Customers
This works as I wanted and returns only unique addresses. However I also need the group, fname and lname fields. When I add these in I lose the DISTINCT functionality as often customers in the same household will have different Lname and grouping.
Whats the best way to select the data I need but still use DISTINCT on the [Address 1] field.

This may still give you two rows for an address, if you have two rows with the same minimum
[Order Date]
for an address.
