Access problem

1
I have a query with two fields. One of them shows date and the other shows an object. Now soppose I want to select an object with the latest date. How can I put a criteria for the date field that gives me the latest date. For making my question clear please look at the below example:
field1 field2
1/1/2004 a
1/1/2005 a
1/1/2006 a

In the above example I want to get boject "a" with the latest date, 1/1/2006.

If you express your date as a time_t variable, which holds the number of seconds passed since Midnight on the 1st January 1970 then you can do a simple binary compare, later dates have higher values.

If instead of 1/1/2006 you express your date as 2006/1/1 (YYY/MM/DD) then you can do a string compare.
