Combo Box Sort Order

How do I sort the data in a combo box (eg alphabetically) (ref. Unit 6 excercises)

RE: Combo Box Sort Order

Hi Phil,

Thank you for your question.

When you attach a lookup wizard to a field there is a step in the wizard where you can sort the field in ascending or descending order.

Alternatively, when you create a combo box via the control toolbox, select the field and then choose to sort the data in ascending or descending.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Access tip:

Related tables

When you have related tables such as Customers and their Orders, the Customer table is the Primary table.

Open the Customers table in datasheet view and go to the Home Tab and Records group. Click on the More option and choose Subdatasheet and then click on Subdatasheet again. Now choose the related table (Orders) and click ok.

Now you can click the + symbol by each company to show the related orders.
