How can I rermove the sort option on columns displayed on a form.
This database is access 2003, some users have access 2007. The 2007 users want the sort option removed.

I dont think you can remove the 'Sort' options.. You can remove the ability to Filter, by changing the AllowFilter property to 'No'..
But for a normal A-Z Sort, I dont see a way to disable that.

I have also never found out how to turn off the sorting (either Ascending or Descending).
I have at times needed to display records based on the order they have been entered though and I did a little work around. If that is what you need to do then this is what I do:
1. Create an AUTONUMBER field in your table (this will never be shown)
2. Sort your form based on the Autonumber (This will display all records as they were entered and not on the PK.
cheers,

I am extending an existing Access/VBA app and need to update a subform
displayed in continuous view within a containing form. The existing

RecordSource set to an underlying DB table.
To extend the existing app, I need to add controls to the subform and

Hello Accessors
I have some reports created in Access that are very good for what they do.
However, it seems to me that when you are displaying information you don't
need to print out that a printer-friendly report is not the best way to go.
So, I tried converting one of my Access reports to an Access form. I
selected the continuous view to allow displaying multple records but when I
went to define my sorting and grouping there was none...

Help, I'm getting strange results on a subform and I'm wondering if
anybody knows what is causing it...
I have a form linked to TableA. On that form is a tab control. Page1 is
just the controls for TableA, except for the caseID (PK) which is above
the tab control.
Then on Page2 of the tab I have a linked subform that's bound (via
caseID so it's a one-to-one relationship due to number of fields) to
TableB, and so on for Page3.

were in previous versions or will they be the "ribbon" style that takes
up a huge portion of the screen?
Also when I use Access 2007 to open an Access 2003 database that has
custom menu bars they display as they did in Access...

I have a form in Access 2007 containing a subform. The control source
of the latter is
SELECT DISTINCTROW ., ., ., .,

which is undoubtedly correct.

that should bring up the sort and filter menu) I get this error:

A client of mine likes some of the new bells and whistles in Access 2007,

However, while some of the users have A07, many do not, and it's not clear
when they would get it. His thought was to use the upcoming Access 2007
runtime to allow the users who are still running Office 2003 to be able to
run the database.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
