Report RecordSource

Hi All,

I am running the following code, fired from the onopen event of a report:

Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
'Set the recordsource for the report so it matches the customer listbox
rowsource
Reports!RPT_currently_viewed_customers.RecordSource =
Forms!Frm_switchboard!CustomerReportSQLStorage.Value
MsgBox (Reports!RPT_currently_viewed_customers.RecordSource)
End Sub

Forms!Frm_switchboard!CustomerReportSQLStorage is populated from the onclick
event of a button on my form - This takes the rowsource of a list box and
places it in the test box (Chunk of SQL)

The report opens AOK, with the expected data, But...the records are not
ordered correctly, e.g. The data I see in the report does not respect the
ORDER BY clause in the SQL.

Could it be that the report has an order by property?? Or something else
going on here??

Would appreciate any help that may be offered.

Thanks for reading!

Simon.

Just looked at the reports properties:

Record Source, Filter, 'Filter On', 'Order By' and 'Order By On' are all
empty.

Hmmmm.....wot now? :-)

Click to expand...

Is there any sorting and grouping in the report? If so, that will
override the OrderBy clause of the query.
 
Hi Dirk,

Yup - Sorting was on, removed this and it worked as expected. Many thanks
for your reply, much appreciated.

Regards,

Simon.
