Question

I am running a query from the VBA editor of Access:

select max(somerow) from sometable

I want to put the result of this query into a VBA variable. How do i do it?

Answer 1

Look at Access Help for DMax function.

Dim varSomething As Variant
varSomething = DMax("somerow", "sometable")

Edit: I realize that suggestion is not what you were looking for. But it seems to me you may be taking the long way round to achieve something that is simple with the DMax domain function.
