Hi,
I am using a listbox to show data from a certain table, i want the user, after the listbox is filled, to be able to sort the data according to the column of his choice. I could sort the table and refresh the form, or directly sort the listbox. How can i do any of that without having to open the table?
I also tried to use a subform that shows the table, that way the user can right click on the column and sort, but the problem is that after closing the form, access asks me if i want to save changes made to the table. How can i get rid of this popup menu?
Thanks in advance for any help

The way to get around it is like this.
You create button on the form that will allow the use to sort by whichever button they push.
When the Click event happens for each of the buttons, you simply pass a SQL String to the Listcontrol under the property of .RowSource = sqlStr. Then simply do a me.listcontroln ame.requery and me.repaint and that's it.
If you would like that coded out, let me know.
Hope that helps,
Joe P.
The fact of the matter is that you're having trouble doing this because you're trying to use an Access control for something that it's not designed to do!
Listboxes are intended to be used to select data that will then, either directly or indirectly, be used to add data to a record! They are not intended to be used to simply display data! This is why Access doesn't provide a way to sort them by columns!
This is akin to buying an Ferrari and wondering why you can't plow your garden with it!

Folks,
I have just created a simple procedure that does the following:
Determines the width of the columns of a listbox.
Places a button of the correct size above each column as the form
opens.
Sorts by that column when you click the button.
Automatically toggles between ASC and DESC sort sequence.
To implement it on a new form, you simply copy the buttons from my

Hello world:
I'm using Access 2003. I have 2 listboxes. One is a single column.
The other has two columns. I can use Dev Ashish's code (thanks Dev!) from
the Access MVP Website to accumulate the values from the bound column of a
MultiSelect listbox, so that I can include them in a SQL query that will
then be the recordsource for a report. This gives me 2 of the 3 values I
need to put into the SQL query. However, I can't get the non...

I populate a ListBox with Objects (not Strings) that has a String field
(which is displayed) and an Integer field (which is not displayed).
I need to have the displayed items in the Listbox sorted. But sorted by the
Integer field not the displayed String.
Is there some way I can do that (in much the way a ListView can be sorted by
any column)
Thanks
