Unhappy select max

Anybody know how to get the last entry in a row depending on the max number of another entry in the same table. These are the 2 tables:

class :
classId
className

status:
statusId
classId
...

Problem: i have a number of same classId in status table but i only want the one that 1. matches the highest statusId number and 2. matches a classId entry in the class table

I can only seem to get all of the classId back in statusId that match class classId.

selecting max(classId) in a subquery doesn't seem to work?
Is my thinking wrong - can this be done by comparing classId in 2 tables and a subquery for the max??

It must be straightforward, but i'm stumped!

anyone?
