Hi all

I have a table thas has three fields that are used a s a primary key. I would when I open the table to see the table sorted by those 3 fields

First Field: Area
Second Field: group
Thrid field: number

In order to see the rows sorted the only safe way is to use a query with an ORDER BY clause.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Well, the table will of course already be sorted by those three fields, if they constitute the primary key. If you want them sorted a different way, then do as PHV suggests and open the query instead of the table.
