Answer 1

Rather try something like

SELECT table1.*
FROM Table1 INNER JOIN
(
SELECT Table1.ID,  Max(Table1.Date) AS MaxOfDate
FROM Table1
GROUP BY Table1.ID) sub ON Table1.ID = sub.ID and Table1.Date = sub.MaxOfDate

You also might want to change the column names, if this is not just an example, as these are reserved words.

Answer 2

SELECT ID, Date, Name
FROM myTable
INNER JOIN (SELECT ID, Max(Date) AS MaxDate FROM myTable GROUP BY ID) myTable2
ON myTable.ID = myTable2.ID 
WHERE myTable.Date = myTable2.MaxDate

Note: this is written without trying it out. So, please be kind :)
