Default Taking the Top Three

I have a query that prints out all individuals and the amount of footage they produced for a given date range. I would like it to print out just the top three. What would I need to put in the criteria to allow only the top three individuals.

Default Taking the Top Three

In the query design, next to the group by icon there's a
drop down box. Enter the number '3' there where it
says 'All'.

You can also do this through the SQL view by adding 'TOP
3' after the select.

Make sure to get the right ordering.
