OK, just off the top of my head, what exactly are you trying to do? I read this as, if you have a form that gets one record at a time, your asking the field to perform an operation on that text box, ie., get max number from this table of this field. Do you want to use a list box or combo box instead?
Ok, big difference. I just whipped up a table, query, form, report. With the query, here’s the SQL statement:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Max(test_table.alpha_2) AS MaxOfalpha_2
FROM test_table;
I have three records in a dummy table, number field, and the report returns one record from the three with 250 in it. The other two records are 50 and 100. On the report, this is what the text box looks like:
=Max(qry_one!MaxOfalpha_2)
Of the three records, it only displays the 250.
Is this what you’re looking for?
