I need to report on a work log, a string on information that is mostly broken by date time stamps.

My report requires the most current work entree to display, unfortunately I also display all of the data, this make the report unusable as each work log can be very large.

I have a sub report configured with the proper data field but cannot figure out how to sort the data to display last first and to truncate the display to only show 20 lines of the data

You can select top 20 in your select query, some thing like this

select Top 20 *
from
(
select field1, field2
From Logfile_table
order by logtime desc
)

I hope it will help you.
