Does anyone know how to transfer only the most recently updated record from access to excel? i can only get the whole recordsheet to transfer over.
 
Have you got something that identifies it as the most recent record (e.g. a date/time field)?

sorry for the lack of clarification. i have a justified form, and i need to transfer only the most recent entry in the form from access to the first line of an excel sheet.
 
So, like when you'r user clicks on 'next' you want the entry he's just done to be thrown into excel yeah?

Have you got a primary key for your recordset?

Is it a blank spreadsheet or a new spreadsheet you need the line transfered over to?

I do not have a primary key, but I can add one if necessary. I hope to transfer to a blank spreadsheet that already exists.

That is exactly what I want to do.

Thanks
