Re: Alternative to MS Access Last() function

Actually, I think I just figured it out. I'm not sure that I totally
understand it - I've been passed the problem of converting it from
someone else. But according to the documentation:

-------------
The LAST function returns the value of the last record in the specified
field.

Syntax:
SELECT LAST(column) AS [expression]
FROM table

Example:
SELECT LAST(Age) AS highest_age
FROM Persons
ORDER BY Age
--------------

So I think that I should just be able to use MAX(). Right?

What does it do? People who don't use Access might be able to
answer if they knew what functionality you're after.
