For testing I created a local MaxDB-Installation on my PC (WinXP Pro.) with MaxDB 7.6.00.34 and imported a current backup from my 7.4. database. The "order by" clause looks a little bit "strange", but due to an old design failure I had to go this way.

So I don't know where the problem is and I found nothing in the documenation

One strange thing: you group by a tbl_Anfrage.Anlagedatum but do not
show it anywhere. This might be responsible for duplicates although I
fail to understand how then you don't see the duplicates in your
original query (i.e. the one where you did not add the SUBSTR...).

Did you check the bugtracker?  Maybe this is a known issue. If not I'd
probably try to recreate a simple test case and submit it as a bug
report. I know that in the past there were issues with joins.  So one
thing to try could be to change the DB parameter that controls join
execution.  For me that helped in one case in the past (7.5).

Good luck!
