query - max ID number

[Pass-the-reality]

I have a query that returns all the records with today's date. Within the
query, I also return all the record Auto ID numbers. What do I need to add
to this query so that it will only return the max auto ID number. For
example - I only want line 1235 to show as it is the largest ID number.

ID Date
1233 December 31, 2008
1234 December 31, 2008
1235 December 31, 2008

Sort by ID (descending) and then set the query to return the Top 1
values. This is found in the query property sheet.

SELECT Max(ID), Table.[Date]
FROM Table
WHERE Table.[Date] = Date()

By the way terrible name for a field. Date is a function returning
today's date (or at least the system date on your computer)
