Angry SQL: Quering the results of a subquery.

Hi Folks,

Hope someone can help with this, I'm a newbie to SQL. I have a list of movie names and where and when these movies are showing. What I want to do is return a distinct list of movies by name. Users can then drill down for a full list of where and when that movie is showing.

Here's the code I'm currently using:

Code:
SELECT 
 movieGenre.mgKey,
 movieLineUp.mluDateStart,
 movieLineUp.mluEventStart,
 movieEventName.menMovieEventName,
 movieLineUp.mluChanName, 
 movieLineUp.mluPremier, 
 movieGenre.mgGenreName, 
 movieLineUp.mluKey
FROM 
 movieLineUp

INNER JOIN 
 (movieEventName 
 INNER JOIN
 movieGenre
 ON 
 movieEventName.men_snKey = movieGenre.mgKey)
ON movieLineUp.mluMovieTitle = movieEventName.menRefMovieEventName

WHERE 
 (((movieLineUp.mluDateStart)>#10/12/2004#)
 AND ((movieEventName.menMovieEventName) Like "%the%"))

ORDER BY 
 movieLineUp.mluDateStart,
 movieLineUp.mluEventStart;



This code works ok, but returns multiple instances of the same movie, with the various start times.
What I'd like to do is use the above as a subquery, and then use SELECT FIRST(movieGenre.mgKey)AS...etc
to return the first entry for each movie name.

Problem is, I can't seem to put this into practice.

Hope someone can help,

G

I have, but becuase I am selecting multiple columns, where only one column can be distinct, SELECT DISTINCT returns multiple instances of the same movies, but with different showing times...

Simple

Select Distinct removing the additional fields that make it unique by title and display the movie, Then when they select the distinct movie run another query to select all with the additional fields you need to display.
