   How can I specify columns as "date" - columns to get them sorted properly ?

   Hi,
 Look into Sub SetDateItem() in the sample app. When you set item value with Date type, it will be automatically properly sorted. -- WBR, Serge | |

| When you add the date the report does not know what type of field it is so you need to tell it by encapsulating it in the CDate() command. Set Item = Record.AddItem(CDate(RS!RegDate)) This works great for me! The same goes for strings cstr(), integers cint(), etc. which orders number columns numerically as opposed to alphabetically. | |
