MS Access Ship Date

Hi Guys,

thanks in advance. I have a query in which I'm trying to get the latest ship date but going back 11 month. Is there any function that would allow me to get this info.

so far I've applied the mix function but I need to go back 11 month.
Thanks!

Joe

Hey Rockiroads,

Thanks for your help. I still don't get what I'm looking for.
Note: I apply your function but doesn't work. Do you guys know why?
Here is the query I created:

SELECT Max([Orders].[Ship Date]) AS [Last Ship Date], Contacts.FirstName, Contacts.LastName, Contacts.Emails
FROM Contacts LEFT JOIN [GC-Orders] ON Contacts.ContactID = [Orders].CompanyID
GROUP BY Contacts.FirstName, Contacts.LastName, Contacts.Emails, Contacts.CompanyName
HAVING (((Max([Orders].[Ship Date]))>= dateadd("m", -11, [Ship Date]))
ORDER BY Max([Orders].[Ship Date]) DESC;

Thanks Rockiroads it works, eventhough I was having some problems becouse of the fact that I wanted the most recent ship date.

Thanks!
