Is there anyway to sort the data in a combo box. I created a table with our store numbers in it. When I pasted them into the table they were not in sequence. I sort the table and save it, but my numbers in the combo box are the way I originally pasted them. I can repaste them sorted and everything is fine. But it would seem I should be able to sort this in a property of the combo box.
 
It's simple. Just make your sort part of the row source of the combo box.

Go to the properties of the combo box and click the "..." button next to the rowsource property. In the query view that pops up enter in the sort that you need. Maq B-)

I knew it was something simple. I think I've been looking at the computer screen to long.
