How do I limit the number of records in a query.
If I have a query that is combining information from two or more tables, one
of which has a date field, and I want to limit the query to the most current 20 records, how would I do this?

In SQL view of the query, changing
Select to Select Top 20 will give you the the top 20 (or less) records. The date field must be sorted in Desc order to get the most current records.

Thank you. The query actually read "SELECT DISTINCTROW" so I had to replace
"DISTINCTROW" with "Top 20". It looks like it is working fine. Thanks again. "SteveS" wrote: In SQL view of the query, changing Select to Select Top 20 will give you the the top 20 (or less) records.
