Simple question (I think)...

I have a form based on a table and I want it to open with it sorted on
Last Name ascending.

I set the order by property for the form to: tblPersonnel.[Last Name]
ASC
but it opens ordered on the PID, which is an autonumber.

Why does it ignore my order by selection?
Thanks,
Blake

Make sure you set the .OrderByOn property as well

Me.OrderBy = MyColumnName
Me.OrderByOn = True
