Default Dmax formula

I have a spreadsheet with data from a1..j266 listing all of our injuries by
Rig no. and dates, etc. I want to pull the latest injury date per rig.

I have a define name of "database" (which covers a1..j266)
Defiine name of "criteria" (which covers L1..M2)
Column 6 is "Date of Accident"

On L1 - typed Rig No.
On M1 - typed Last recordable date
On M4 - typed =dmax(database,6,criteria)

L5-L45 - typed rig nos.
*****
When I was using Excel 97, I would then go to Data, Table, in the Column
Input Cell box, select L2, OK and formula would work.

We have updated to Excel 2007, I get all the way to the ******; then can't
find the same options of Data, Table, Column Input Cell Box for the formula
to work.

Can someone please tell me what I need to do?

Thanks,

Angie
