Finding the last record (1 Viewer)

[Rats]

Hopefully this is a simple one. I am running an append query to update my database. I am then requerying it to display the record. On requerying it jumps to the first record in the database. I need it to go to the last record.
Can anyone suggest the code to just simply select the last record please?

Found the answer on Microsoft Help. Recordset.movelast achieves the result.

However note that the concepts of first and last have no real intrinsic meaning in a database except through ordering. When recorded are appended to a table they don't always go to the end. The records need to be ordered by some means such as a key or date.

The only way you can ensure that you get the last record entered is either, as mentioned by Galaxiom (having a specific sort order on a date/time stamp for example) or by using the DLast function. DLast can pull the ID of the last record entered and then you could do a find on that.
