sorting report records at runtime

[alsoto]

Hello,

I have a parameter form where a user chooses a sort from an option box, values 1-4. I am trying to enter code in the Open Event of the report that will set the OrderBy preoperty at runtime.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Al

Is [Forms]![frmPrintMenuNew]![chooseSo] an unbound control? If not then to what type of field is it bound?

Rural Guy,

Thank you for responding.Yes, it is an unbound control.

I got the following to work:

If Forms!frmPrintMenuNew!chooseSo = "1" Then
Me.OrderBy = "StartDate, LastName"
Me.OrderByOn = True
Else
If Forms!frmPrintMenuNew!chooseSo = "2" Then
Me.OrderBy = "LastName"
Me.OrderByOn = True
Else
If Forms!frmPrintMenuNew!chooseSo = "3" Then
Me.OrderBy = "Program, LastName"
Me.OrderByOn = True
Else
If Forms!frmPrintMenuNew!chooseSo = "4" Then
Me.OrderBy = "Rep, LastName"
Me.OrderByOn = True
End If
End If
End If
End If

Thank you!
Al
