Default Finding Last Record

Wes

Access tables store data rather like "buckets o' data". That is, there's no
inherent (human-perceptible) order. Thus, the "Last" record only makes
sense if YOU have imposed some sort order.

What you YOU mean by "last"?

Being very new to Access I am struggling a bit, so need some assistance. I
have an ACCESS 2000 manual and keep trying to figure it out, but I am just
a bit ACCESS deprived.

I have a form that will be used for New Employees. When I OPEN the form,
(OPEN event, I think,) I need to get to the last record in my table. I
have tried

DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataTable, "SalesAssociate", acLast

but get an error saying the table is not open.

I have tried several other things, but nothing seems to work.

I know I have it wrong, but can't figure it out.

Any suggestions

Thanks

Wes
