I have a subform that is sorted in ascending order by date. This is inherited from the table that is set to ascending order by date. When this subform is opened along with the parent, it loses its date ordering and reverts to ordering by the primary key. How can I order on a subform?

Sorting a subform
- Thread starter tseh
- Start date
I think this is probably happening because you're using some primary key fields as the link between the parent and child forms. One thing I can suggest doing is using the OrderBy and OrderByOn properties of the subform in it's load event like so:

Code:
Me.OrderBy = "YourDateField ASC"
Me.OrderByOn = True- Status
