I moved a MDB file to new PC. Now I can't even "sort ascending"

[Howie]

This must be a permissions issue. But I don't know how to fix it.
I am in the middle of writing a database so I haven't even
learned how to deal with security yet.
Could someone tell me how to stop "sort ascending" in a table
being greyed-out? Much appreciated.

Thanks.

Perhaps the file is readonly, or on a readonly share?

Hi. Thanks for the reply. No, I've just re-checked and neither of
those options apply.

The only other thing that occurs to me is that you can't sort on memo
fields. Is that the case?

Try changing "Default Record Locking" (Advanced tab of the Options dialog)
from
'All records' to 'Edited Record' or 'No Locks' as appropriate. I never found
any explanation on Newsgroups or MSKB.

Hi Larry.

No, not a memo field.
