Forgive me, but the MAX(Date) in TableA won't ever match the MAX(Date) with TableB with the given data. Is there another row in TableB that we are not seeing? Or is that selection criteria need to be different? If I am misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

It sounds a lot like the versioned data I've worked with before. [I wrote up an article][1] using various methods to retrieve the data. Check this out. I'm sure one of them will meet the requirements you're looking for. [1]: http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/database-administration/sql-strategies-for-versioned-data/
