Sort Form by Combo Box Text
Is there a way to sort a form on a non-bound column of a combo box? For
example, in a form with a record source set to a table of books, the "Category" combo box has its bound column set to the category ID column and displays the category text, but the category text isn't in the recordset of the form. Is there a way to sort the form on "Category" without changing the record source of the form? Thanks in advance! David |

Is there a way to sort the form on "Category" without changing the record source of the form? Not efficiently. Why not base the Form on a query joining the books table to the Category table, and sorting by category? With a single, simple join like this you won't be hurting the updatability of the form.
