SQL SERVER 2000 Selecting a record based on an aggregate function

  #1  
Aug 24th, 2004
Hi guys here is my working sql query

Select MAX(Hits)'Hits', SUM(Hits)'Total', UserID
From sf_articles
Group By UserID

My problem is, when I want to select other columns as well as the current ones. It gives me a lovely error:

Server: Msg 8120, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Column 'sf_articles.ArtID' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.

Basically what I want to do is get those columns, and get the info from the records that contain the maximum hits.

For example. I have two records, one with 2 hits, the other with 5. I want to get all the info from the one with 5 hits. There will be an end result of about 7 records at the end since there are 7 users.

PLEASE HELP! I AM TEARING MY HAIR OUT!

Cheers,

Slade
