How do i delete last record in table?

[hardrock]

Hi all, whats the simplest way to delete the last record in a table? based on
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM

Trying to use a button to do the above

Cheers

Depends on what is the last record.

The last one added by date? the last one alphabetically? the latest ID number?

Hi Colin, Its basically a shopping cart, with goods added to the cart table when the 'add to cart' button is pressed. I now want to add a 'delete from cart' button so it deletes the last (bottom) record in table. I simply want to select last record and delete. No other parameters needed. Cheers

This might work for ya

    DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acLast
    docmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord

If the person selects "Delete Item", I would then have the cart contents shown in a continuous form, then get the person to select the item, then have an "are you sure?" yes / no MessageBox.

To rely on the correct item being the last one in the table may be suspect.
