How to pull most recent record for relationship?

I have some fields in a layout in my "A" database that are actually from database "B." The relationship is based on ID. There are multiple records for some IDs in database "B", so sometimes I get the older data pulled from database "B." But actually, I always want it to pull the most recent record for any given ID in database "B." Does that make sense? Anyone know?

I think the Last function is what you're looking for. It will give you the last related record through the relationship (which would be the most recently created record).

Be careful with Last(), because it returns the last not empty value, as opposed to a sorted relationship.

It's usually ok, but it's something to know.
