I can open a form using a combo box to select a group of records.

stLinkCriteria = "[Tu]= '" & Me![PrintTu] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview, , stLinkCriteria

[PrintTu] is what comes from the combo box.

I would also like the records to be sorted in an order not the same as the
underlying table. I would imagine this should be simple, but to me, and
amateur, it's not!

Thanks in advance for any help.

The article explains how to programmatically set the ControlSource of the
GroupLevel in the report's Open event.
