VBA MS Access Getting the start date in a database

Question

I have a MS Access database and inside it I import tables from an external source every month. What I want to do is get the earliest date in the database since it is out of order. I am creating forms and so far this is what I have:

'Get start and end date
Dim DBGeo As DAO.Database
Dim rstStartDate As DAO.Recordset

Set DBGeo = CurrentDb

varStartDate = "SELECT [time] FROM [" & cboTableName & "] ORDER BY [time] ASC LIMIT 1;"
MsgBox (varStartDate)
Set rstStartDate = DBGeo.OpenRecordset(varStartDate, dbOpenSnapshot)

The field name is called time and I know that is a keyword but I dont want to change it or else I have to change it in all the tables. CboTableName has the name of the table I am using.

Im not great at this stuff so I am sure it is something simple. Thank you
