Sorting does not transfer to new form.

Hi everyone,

I have a form which contains a datasheet. And I allow the user to
sort it by right clicking on the field, and clicking "Sort Ascending",
or "Sort Descending".

But I also have a button called "Display Results", which brings up a
new window in form view which has a bunch of text boxes for each of
the fields, displaying each item. I have been able to set the record
source correctly. But the sorting is completely wrong.

I have tried determining the orignial forms .Sort, .OrderBy. But
neither property are set. Where can I find the string containing the
CORRECT sorting of the datasheet???

To open the second form sorted according to whatever field was
selected on the first form, code the Form1 "Display Results" command
button click event:

DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2", , , , , , Me.OrderBy

Code the Load event of Form2:

If Not IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) Then
Me.OrderBy = Me.OpenArgs
Me.OrderByOn = True
End If
