I have a large access table that contains the following:

I'm trying to create a report that will show me the last value entered at the end of the month. For example If I run the report on 8/12 the report should look like this:

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 199pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=264><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 59pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 2852" width=78><COL style="WIDTH: 67pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3254" width=89><COL style="WIDTH: 73pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3547" width=97><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 59pt; HEIGHT: 15pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" class=xl67 height=20 width=78>ACCT</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 67pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" class=xl68 width=89 align=right>6/30/2011</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 73pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" class=xl68 width=97 align=right>7/31/2011</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: silver 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: silver 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 15pt; BORDER-TOP: silver 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: silver 0.5pt solid" class=xl66 height=20>550-3367-1</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: silver 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: silver; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 67pt; BORDER-TOP: silver 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: silver 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 width=89>$5,000,000.00</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: silver 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: silver; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 73pt; BORDER-TOP: silver 0.5pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: silver 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 width=97>$5,000,000.00</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 15pt" height=20><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: silver 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: silver 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; HEIGHT: 15pt; BORDER-TOP: silver; BORDER-RIGHT: silver 0.5pt solid" class=xl66 height=20>550-15115-1</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: silver 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: silver; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 67pt; BORDER-TOP: silver; BORDER-RIGHT: silver 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 width=89>$4,600,000.00</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: silver 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: silver; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 73pt; BORDER-TOP: silver; BORDER-RIGHT: silver 0.5pt solid" class=xl65 width=97>$10,050,000.00</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

I think I need a subquery to do this but I don't know how to apply the correct syntax.
I think it should be select [value] from table1 where max([date entered]) <#7/1/2011 for the 6/30/2011 field.

can anyone help?
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Sort by date Sort by votes
Try:

Code: 
SELECT ACCT, [DT ENTERED], [VALUE] FROM
[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]THE_TABLE[/COLOR] AS MainT
INNER JOIN
(SELECT ACCT, MAX([DT ENTERED]) FROM [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]THE_TABLE[/COLOR]) AS SubT
ON MainT.ACCT = SubT.ACCT

Where THE_TABLE is your table name ...
This solution assumes there is never two entries on the same date:
550-3367-1 | 3/14/2011 | $5,000,000.00
550-3367-1 | 3/14/2011 | $5,000,000.00
(since in this case there is no single max date, and the tie would need to be broken)
