btw, that "B1" was a typo on my part when putting this message together. The line (that STILL gives me an error) is:

oRecord.Range("A2:N"+ALLTRIM(STR(nBottom))).Sort(oRecord.Range("A2"), xlAscending, , ;
oRecord.Range("B2"), xlAscending, oRecord.Range("C2"), xlAscending, xlYes, 1, ;
.F.,xlTopToBottom)

Sorry 'bout that.

Still haven't gotten anywhere with this ... any suggestions would be welcome :)

Thanks all!
