How to Determine the Date of the Second Last Order Placed by a Customer in Microsoft Access (DMax)

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to determine the date of the second last order placed by a customer, using domain aggregate functions like DMax. We will explore methods to accurately extract and compare order dates, even when multiple orders are placed on the same day.
Simon from Blue Springs, Missouri (a Gold Member) asks: This might seem like a weird question, but I need to figure out how to find the second last date that a customer placed an order. I know I can use DMax to determine the most recent order date, but how can I find the order before that? Why I need to know it? Don't ask. Long story.
