What's the best way to allow a user to specify what field in a report to sort by in the report prompt? I'm thinking that the SortBy property of the report can be set in some way. I've seen code where the report is opened in design mode, the sort properties are set, and then opened in preview mode. Is there any other way?

on the form that opens the report you can have a combo box with the fields of your table (field List)
On the On Open Event of your report use
Me.OrderBy = Forms![MyForm]![Combo]
or prompt user when report is opened
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim Mysortfield
Mysortfield = InputBox("Enter field to sort by"
Me.OrderBy = Mysortfield
End Sub
On the On Open Event of your report use
Me.OrderBy = Forms![MyForm]![Combo]
or prompt user when report is opened
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim Mysortfield
Mysortfield = InputBox("Enter field to sort by"
Me.OrderBy = Mysortfield
End Sub
