I have a Text Box called: VNo , and a table called: DocControl.

The Table contains this information

Name.............Version.............Date
-------------------------------------------
GFD v0.1 09/03/2008
GFD v0.2 11/03/2008
GFD v0.3 12/03/2008
TRD v0.4 13/03/2008
GFD v0.5 14/03/2008

I want the Text Box to display the last value in the Version Column, which in this case is "v0.5"

Any help thanks?

What is it about the "last" record that makes it the last, in this case?

Is there a numeric PK that you can take the MAX() of, or are you going by the date? Or do you want it to figure out the latest version number?

You could use: SELECT MAX(Date) As MaxDate, Version FROM DocControl GROUP BY Version ORDER BY MAX(Date) DESC

Big problem here is the use of a reserved word for a column name. Your query may have a problem with "Date." In that case use "DocControl.Date" instead.

SELECT MAX(DocControl.Date) As MaxDate, DocControl.Version
FROM DocControl
GROUP BY Version
ORDER BY MAX(DocControlDate) DESC

Did that help?
