Write an update query. Use the DateDiff function to determine if
field1 is greater than field2, or vice versa. Use the IIf function to
output either field1 or field2.

Still problems? Show us what you have so far.

Why does the function DMin("Abs(!- #" & & "#)";"SomeTable") not work properly with datefields. It always finds the closest difference with a later date only, if an earlier date in the table is closer or even equal, it still comes up with the later date. It works fine with numeric fields.
