Duplicate and Last Record

[Guest]

I have a short range of numbers that gets recycled. I am trying to create a
query that returns a result based on the last instance of that number to see
if it is available:

Name Number Term
Bob 1111 True (check box)
Kevin 1111 False (Check Box)

the return result should omit 1111, Not quite sure how to go about it.

Hi,

If you have a date_time field

SELECT *
FROM myTable
WHERE dateTimeField=(SELECT MAX(dateTimeField)
FROM myTable)

If you have "groups", rather than just one record to return (like, for each
book in a library, who is the last borrower) you can use one of the method
in http://www.mvps.org/access/queries/qry0020.htm.
