Access stores data in tables rather like a "bucket o' data" -- there is no
readily-apparent order.

For Access to give you "the latest entry" requires that you tell Access how
to determine what "latest" means.

I'm assuming you mean "most recent". If so, you'll need to tell Access
which (date/time) field to use to determine "most recent".

You mention "bills" on properties ... are you only interested in when the
bill came in, or also when it is/was due, when it was paid, etc...?

More info, please...

Hi Folks,

I want to pick out of a table only the latest entry that meets my
criteria,
and I don't know how to.

I have properties (as a table), and I have property expenses (also as a
table)
I would like to display a report where for each property there is the
latest entry for electric bill, latest entry for gas bill, latest entry
for
service charge etc. i.e. the criteria is bill = electric, date = most
recent

I am at a loss as to how to go about the instruction for "most recent"
entry.


As ever, any help gratefully received.

Kind Regards,
Russell.
