I currently have a form in access.

What I want to do is get the value of the last record added.

For example, if i have 10 records, I want to get the value “10”, because this is the id of the added last record. I am trying to run a query with the function last id inserted() but it is not working.

This the code I am using :

Dim lastID As Integer
Query = "select last_insert_id()"
lastID = Query
MsgBox (lastID)

What am I missing?

    There is a function DMax that will grab the highest number.

    Dim lastID As Integer
lastID = DMax("IDField","YourTable")
' or = DMax("IDField","YourTable","WhenField=Value")
MsgBox lastID

    The other Domain functions are:

    • DAvg
    • DCount
    • DFirst
    • DLast
    • DLookup
    • DMin
    • DStDev
    • DStDevP
    • DSum
    • DVar
    • DVarP
