Order by property and date field
I am trying to sort my records on a form by a date field called [Job_Due]
however when I set the order by property of the form to [Job_Due] it doesn't seem to do anything. What could I be missing ?

Is the form based on a table or a query? If it's based on a query, you could conflicting sorting in the underlying query. -- -D Duncan Bachen Director of I.T., Ole Hansen and Sons, Inc.

Hi Gazza - check on your underlying data source for the form - presume it's a
query. Set the sort there. Works better that way. Like you I've tried to set it on the Form Property with little luck, actually even when it is set on the form and working properly the Property Order by often says something else.

Order by property and date field
The underlying data source is a query - which I have specified to sort
ascending by Job_Due. It is'nt sorting by this at all whether I remove the order by property or not.

OK, never mind, you were right. I recreated the form from the query and now
it is sorted correctly. Must have made a mistake last time I created it. Thanks "Gazza" wrote: The underlying data source is a query - which I have specified to sort ascending by Job_Due.
