You know, many people have mentioned using the GROUP BY clause for this
purpose to me, and I just thought they misunderstood my question.  Microsoft
Access requires that all fields in the SELECT clause be aggregate functions
or appear in the GROUP BY clause, so this doesn't work there.  I see now
that MySQL treats this differently (and much better, I might add).

Thanks to everyone who has helped.
