yes you need to use a having clause after the Group by clause , as the where is just to filter the data on simple parameters , but group by followed by a Having statement is the idea to group the data and filter it on basis of some aggregate function......

But its still giving an error message in Query Builder. I am using SqlServerCe 2008.

SELECT         Products_Master.ProductName, Order_Products.Quantity, Order_Details.TotalTax, Order_Products.Cost, Order_Details.Discount, 
                     Order_Details.TotalPrice
FROM           Order_Products INNER JOIN
                     Order_Details ON Order_Details.OrderID = Order_Products.OrderID INNER JOIN
                     Products_Master ON Products_Master.ProductCode = Order_Products.ProductCode
HAVING        (Order_Details.OrderID = (SELECT MAX(OrderID) AS Expr1 FROM Order_Details AS mx1))

I replaced WHERE with HAVING as said by @powerlord. But still showing an error.

Error parsing the query. [Token line number = 1, Token line offset = 371, Token in error = SELECT]
