Max

[Chris]

Is there a function to get the max of different fields for
a record?

For example, a table looks like

ID number1 number2 number3...
1 20 15 13

I need a function to return 20, the largest of 20,15,13.

Thanks for any help.

I replied to a similar Q in the past few days. Your query will have
to call a user-defined function that will get the max number. E.g.:

SELECT ID, Greatest(number1, number2, number3) As Mostest
FROM TableName

Put this function in a standard module:

Public Function Greatest(ParamArray var() As Variant) As Variant

Dim max As Variant
Dim i As Integer

' Initialize
max = var(LBound(var))
For i = LBound(var) to UBound(var)
If var(i) > max Then max = var(i)
Next i

Greatest = max

End Function
