    How would I convert this query to use a JOIN in the subquery:

    SELECT ProcDate , MAX(b.DayKey) DayKey

    FROM dbo.MyTable a ,

    ( SELECT MAX(DayKey) DayKey

    FROM dbo.MyTable

    WHERE ExtractType = 'D'

    ) b

    WHERE ( ExtractType = 'D' )

    AND a.Daykey = b.DayKey

    GROUP BY ProcDate

    Not sure what the question is. Do you need the subquery to join to something else? Or is the question how can you use a join instead of the subquery?

    From what you posted I don't understand the need for a subquery here at all.

    SELECT ProcDate, MAX(DayKey) as DayKey

    FROM dbo.MyTable a

    WHERE ExtractType = 'D'

    GROUP BY ProcDate
