How can I limit records in my report to the most recent date?
I have multiple records with multiple barrels and multiple dates. How can I

Sort your data by the date Desc, so the most recent record will be on top,
and then add to the query Top 1 Select Top 1 TableName.* From TableName Order By DateField Desc -- Please respond to the group if your question been answered, or not, so other can refer to it. Thank you and Good luck "Greg" wrote: I have multiple records with multiple barrels and multiple dates.

Greg Set the Filter property of the report to: [DateField] = DMax("[DateField]","QueryName") Set the Report's FilterOn property to Yes. Or.. Create another query based upon your current query. Set the datefield's criteria to DMax("[DateField]","QueryName") Use this new query as the report recordsource. -- Fred Please respond only to this newsgroup. I do not reply to personal e-mail |

How can I limit records in my report to the most recent date?
Thank you both very much for your quick and illuminating responses!
I had some trouble implementing the response from Ofer that recommended the use of "Top1". When I used fredg's advice, I was able to reduce my report to one record, the most recent. But upon rereading my question I realize I didn't describe it accurately. I have some 90 entries in my query coming from two tables. I want my report to use the query proceeds to group only the most recent entry for each of 23 barrels, with most of them having different "recent/last" dates. Thank you again.
