I have a form with a combo box which is from a table. The table is sorted by the field used in the combo box, but whenever I click on the combo box the data is not sorted. How can I make this sort? :(


Thanks . . . texasalynn

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Bring up the Properties dialog for the combobox, find the Rowsource property and click on the ellipsis to bring up a query window (say yes if Access asks you if you want to make a query out of the table). In the query window set the field you require sorting on to Ascending or Descending as appropriate.
