Most recent date entry

Hi,
How do I find the most recent date entry stored in my date field.This field will be containing future dates also.

Is using "Select max(datefield) from table";
a correct way??

If a user has added Aug 10,Sep 10,Oct10,2003 then Oct10,2003 is what I mean by most recent entry.
