Sorting in Continuous Form
Michelle Mayo 
     
3 years ago
I have a Employee Record.  At the top of each record are buttons that will take them to another form that is the same tied to the key.
Each employee has an Accesses Button, Administrative Button and Requests Button.
On the Requests Form (continuous) it lists the Employee Name (combo box), Employee number, Request Date, Number, Description.
When I open the form, it sorts by the ID.  I want it to sort by the Request Date.
However, when I try to make a change to the individual Requests Form, it also makes the change to the main request form that has ALL of my employees on.

How can I sort the individual form, without making changes to the main Request Form?

So the individual form and the main request form are the same forms?

You could just put in your code that opens the individual form and set the orderby
Forms!FormName.Form.OrderBy="RequestDate"
Forms!FormName.Form.OrderByOn=True

I'm now unable to add a record to the main continuous form (Request Form) and the Request Form under the employee?  No error message is showing up, but an "error" sound happens.
