How many records are you talking about? If it's less than ten thousand, it
probably doesn't matter.
You could get out a stopwatch and test which works faster.
Then there's always Showplan which will tell you what index, if any, that is
being used by a query.

I sometimes need to find the largest or smallest value in a field. If I put
two indexes on the same field, one in ascending order and one in descending
order, is Jet smart enough to use the proper index if a give it a grouping
query with the condition Max or Min, or am I just wasting resources?
