Any Ideas??

Me is a keyword only availbe in VB. It does not exist outside a code
module.
If you need the function directly in the event property box, you'll
likely have to refer to the form explicitly.
= SortForm(Forms!FormName,"CRNAME")
I think it's better to leave it in the event proceedure anyway.
