Private Sub CMDBUTTONNAME_Click()
If Me.OrderBy = "FIELD NAME" Then

    Me.CmdAccCode.Picture = "PUT YOUR DESC IMAGE PATH HERE"
        Else Me.OrderBy = "FIELD NAME"
            Me.CMDBUTTONNAME.Picture = "PUT YOUR ASC IMAGE PATH HERE"
End If
End Sub

Private Sub CMDBUTTONNAME_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
   Me.OrderBy = "DEFAULT SORT FIELD NAME FOR CURRENT FORM"
   Me.CMDBUTTONNAME.Picture = "PUT YOUR NORM IMAGE PATH HERE"
   Me.Requery
End Sub
