Select ti.item_ID, ti.Item_Name, tp.Price as LastPreis
from tblItems ti
left join tblPrices tp
on ti.Item_id = tp.item_ID
and tp.DateTime between '2011-01-01' and '2011-06-30'
left join tblPrices tp2
on tp.Item_id = tp2.item_ID
and tp.DateTime < tp2.DateTime
and tp2.DateTime between '2011-01-01' and '2011-06-30'
where tp2.Item_id is null
order by ti.Item_Name

Another alternative is to use NOT EXISTS for tp2 (I'm not showing an example of that one) and yet another is to use a CTE:

WITH LastPriceDate (Item_ID, LastDate) as
(select Item_ID, max(DateTime) from tblPrices
where DateTime between '2011-01-01' and '2011-06-30'
group by Item_ID)

SELECT ti.Item_ID, ti.Item_Name, tp.Price as LastPreis
from tblItems ti
left join LastPriceDate lpd on ti.Item_ID = lpd.Item_ID
left join tblPrices tp on ti.Item_ID = tp.Item_ID and lpd.LastDate = tp.DateTime
order by ti.Item_Name

All three alternatives ought to work pretty well, choose the one you find most intuitive.

HTH,
