    Red face How to create a query to return on a single record from a single table


    Good afternoon.
    I am trying to create a query that will be used to generate a report, but I only want the report to display a SINGLE record from a SINGLE table.

    The query and report I can create returns and displays all records for the selected table.....I want to be able to select only the last record added to the table.

    Can somebody please help me?

    Many thanks and kind regards

    Mark

    Apply filter criteria. What criteria can be used to determine the 'last' record?

    Okay, maybe not a filter as you are familiar with - try TOP n query.

    SELECT TOP 1 table.*,
    FROM table
    ORDER BY ID DESC;

    This assumes ID is always increasing, which is not guaranteed with an autonumber field, although I have never seen otherwise.
