How to find distinct of date in sql 2000?

For example :i have a table "Dates".It contains different dates like 26-11-2009,
25-11-2009,26-11-2009.'26-11-2009' has two entries.When i select date from this table i need only two entries such as 25-11-2009 and 26-11-2009.

***Edited section:***

In the table 'Emplyoee' there are two fields-JoinDate and EmployeeName.

All Data contains in Emplyoee table is as follows:

```
JoinDate      | EmployeeName
------------------------
02-12-2009   Vijay

03-12-2009   Binoy

03-12-2009   Rahul

```

My select query is as follows:

```
SELECT DISTINCT JoinDate,EmployeeName FROM Emplyoee

```

I got the Result as follows:

```
JoinDate   | EmployeeName
------------------------
02-12-2009   Vijay
03-12-2009   Binoy
03-12-2009   Rahul

```

But i need the result as follows:

```
JoinDate   | EmployeeName
------------------------
02-12-2009   Vijay
03-12-2009   Binoy(first employee joined on this date)

```
