Mark,

Any difference if you *remove* the "OF mytable"? Any better if you put the alias mytable (at the end) within quotes? Remove the ORDER word?

Some things to try.

Good luck,

Only problem is -- doesn't seem to want to work. I get errors including "Variable COMPANY not found" (COMPANY happens to be a field in mytable, but this command above doesn't have anything to do with that field as far as I can tell).
