I want to select only the last record in a table, or only the highest (or the latest) number in a id Field....
sorry for the inexperience, and thanks

use the max function if you want the highest value of a particular record :
select max(column_name) from table_name;
and then
select * from table_name where
column_name = [[output of first query]];
you would be better off searching for the rowid in the first query, but if you are not familiar with them then just go about it this way.
if there is a date column that would have the tiem the record was created you could look for the latest in that as well.
