Hi Peter,

>I have an index on this subsequent file so that the records are in order. In the DE for the form, I set the ORDER for this subsequent file to the field index name accordingly.

I've never used fields with an index as the recordsource type, so I don't know if what you are doing should work. But you can do a SQL Select with the Order phrase as the record source, or into an array used as the reocrd source. Also, chekch the Sorted Property.
