New Sample: PreviousDateQuery.mdb

PreviousDateQuery.mdb
by Roger Carlson

This sample illustrates how to create a Previous Date query.

It shows how to:

1) Display the previous date in subsquent records of a table
or
2) Display the previous date in subsquent records of a table over a group.

There are two methods shown here: Using 1) a correlated subquery and 2) the DMax domain aggregate function. The correlated subquery is the faster method, but it returns a non-updateable recordset. The DMax method is slower, but the recordset is updateable.

HOWEVER, it should be noted that against a large dataset, neither method will be very fast!
