A2K - keeping subform records in the same order

Hi,

I was just setting up a test system on a client's machine yesterday and as
ever noticed a few problems.

One that has thrown me is to do with the order of records in a subform
(datasheet view).

The main form holds the parent records. For each parent record there are 10
(and always 10) related records. When these 10 records appear in the
subform the first field is numbered from 1 to 10.

Like so:

1 - record here
2 - record here
3 - record here
4 - record here
5 - record here
etc to 10

Yesterday I noticed that sometimes the order was changed, eg.

10
9
8
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

There is quite a bit of complexity behind the whole thing but I don't want
to confuse the issue. Is there a relatively simple way of checking the
order of records as they appear in the subform and then re-ordering them if
necessary?

Many thanks again,

Martin

Set the subform's OrderBy property to the name of this field, remembering to
set OrderByOn as well. If necessary, do this in the Open event of the
subform.

Example:
Me.OrderBy = "SomeField"
Me.OrderByOn = True

Thanks Allen, that looks like what i need - hopefully a simple fix to an
irritating problem.

Hi All, I have a Find Record button setup in most of my forms in order to find a specific customer's details. I have just noticed today though that this search will only find the customer if it already has linked data in the subform. This totally defeats the purpose of my search, which is to find an existing customer's details in order to enter new data in the subform. I was wondering if there is a way, in the form/subform situation,...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
