Finding 2nd to last event

How would I find the second to last event per person in a table that has
dates, events and names. In other words I'm trying to group by name, and
instead of Max for the Date totals, I'm looking for the second to last date.
Thanks,
Ed

Use this code to find the next-to-last order for all customers, and it's
simple to change it to find the third from last, forth from last etc.
orders.

SELECT t1.CustomerID, t1.OrderID, t1.OrderDate
FROM
TblOrder AS t1 INNER JOIN TblOrder AS t2
ON t1.OrderDate <= t2.OrderDate
AND t1.CustomerID = t2.CustomerID
GROUP BY t1.CustomerID, t1.OrderID, t1.OrderDate
HAVING COUNT(*) = 2
ORDER BY t1.CustomerID
 
Thanks. I appreciate the help.
