User wants filtered records to show current "effective date" first
I have a form that filters by plan and product chosen, then the user clicks
the command button & it opens all forms with the specified plan and product chosen previously. The user is ok with this, except that the forms are not in order by effective date, which they want to see the most current. Can I set code or rules to that particular text box that has the effective date to always sort to most current upon opening? If so, how? Thank you

Mary,
You wrote the command button & it opens all forms with the specified plan and product chosen previously. Probably you mean... it opens all "records" involving that plan and product. If you have a table behind that form, use a query, based on that table, instead. Then you can sort the query by EffectiveDate Descending, and send the user to the last record upon opening. That will always open to the latest EffectiveDate in your recordset. -- hth Al Camp Candia Computer Consulting - Candia NH http://home.comcast.net/~cccsolutions "Mary A Perez" wrote in message ...
