>I dont think this is in this class. You can only sort on 1 column. The class is making an index on the column descending or ascending (single / double click) what you require it to build a compound index on a number of fields and than dynamically - whow that would be great! I believe to achieve that you shall have to built a special indexing form in which you let the user indicate which columns to use and which one to be the main index.

LOL, that's where this whole conversation started, Marcia said:

"I have implemented this by using a "sort by" grid that contains user friendly names of fields in the grid's RecordSource and a column to specify "ascending or descending". It is a grid with mover bars that lets the user specify the order of the fields that are used to do the sorting. When they have the sort set up, they click a button that says "Sort Now"."

So I guess you misunderstood what she was talking about.

Marcia, please jump in :)
