Probably the error was from posting-
I will look at the queries- I usually understand those!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Ok- I just deleted my name! I thought I was emailing!
So, the way this was set up, there is a form with 2 drop down menus, one for students and one for classes.
There are 2 queries, one for students, which returns the student information from the all the classes from the one student chosen student drop down box and one for classes, which returns all student information for the class chosen in the drop down box.
All that is in the query currently is either [Input Student ID] or [Input class ID].
I think the ideal think would be to return the class most recently entered, but a) I don't know how and b) I don't know if that field exists, although I can add it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, I think this is what you need:
Say you have a table called tbltest, with a unique ID of ID, a field 'stuff' and a dateadded field. You could try this:
SELECT tbltest.ID, tbltest.stuff, tbltest.dateadded
FROM tbltest
where tbltest.dateadded = (select max(dateadded) from tbltest)
However, if you have more than one record with the same maximum date, it will return all the records with that maximum date.
Is this what you need?

I think so! Someday I will learn this stuff. We have a database designer, but I have been asking for this modification for over 3 years, and we are a really low priority.

The blah blah Ginger is sort of why I asked the question!
I do love that the "blah blah Ginger" is such a useful quote.

Seems fine for me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yesterday on a helpdesk call, the IT guy said "Oh. That's interesting..."
I knew it was going to be a loooooooooooooooong call.
