Help expanding a query .. group By

Im using vb code to generate a SQL query to return a recordset. The follwing
query returns 2 records as follows.
Select a.BHYEAR_MOVEDATE,
Case b.BTYear_TransCode
WHEN '17' THEN 'DD'
WHEN '01' THEN 'DD'
WHEN '18' THEN 'DD'
Else 'AUD' END AS 'TYPE'
from dbo.BacsHdrYearly as a
LEFT JOIN dbo.BacsTrnYear as b
on a.BHYear_LedgerKey = b.BTYear_LedgerKey
Where (a.BHYEAR_LICENCE = '217000' AND a.BHYEAR_SERIALNUMBER = '128')
OR (a.BHYEAR_LICENCE = '217000' AND a.BHYEAR_SERIALNUMBER = '134')
OR (a.BHYEAR_LICENCE = '217000' AND a.BHYEAR_SERIALNUMBER = '135')
OR (a.BHYEAR_LICENCE = '217001' AND a.BHYEAR_SERIALNUMBER = '136')
GROUP BY a.BHYEAR_MOVEDATE , b.BTYear_TransCode
BHYEAR_MOVEDATE TYPE
--- --
2005-04-21 00:00:00 DD
2005-04-21 00:00:00 DD
I need it to only return one record as for each date and type ( may be
multiple dates and types ).
BHYEAR_MOVEDATE TYPE
--- --
2005-04-21 00:00:00 DD
any suggestions on how to rephrase this query ?What ABout DISTINCT ?

Your statement is correct, except that in the GROUP BY clause you have to us
e:
...
GROUP BY
a.BHYEAR_MOVEDATE,
Case b.BTYear_TransCode
WHEN '17' THEN 'DD'
WHEN '01' THEN 'DD'
WHEN '18' THEN 'DD'
Else 'AUD' END;
