select top 5 ID, Name
from table
order by ID DESC


or


select ID, Name

er....

I decided to do sometjing else on the system rather than the latest
additions part but obviuosly sent a blank email ... DOH!
The message footer is courtesy of Birmingham City Council not me .....

However since now I'm typing this anyway I need a way of seeing the last
five additions to a table. Anyone got any bright ideas or can point me at
some nice code that I can use....

Regards - Paul
