Sort subform descending

[Smack]

In my main form, Pricing, I have a subform which contains the actual price records. In A97 i used the sort by in the subforms properties. In A2K it added brackets around the first field. If i don't use a bracket, I get prompted. My A97 was sorted
Date, Entry Date, DESC
Anyone know how I can get this to work?

Forget it. I went ahead and added a query and sorted it the way I want it. I thought it might slow accessing the form too much, but it was okay.
My date field is =Now()but I added this later on. the records wer imported from another system, so I have about 1900 records where that field is null. How would I write an expression that If Null then date =2-1-01?
