Hi Sergey - that might explain why I haven't been able to find a way to do it in Access testing :-)

What a limitation! I guess I might need to resort to SQL to get the proper sort into a new result table, in that case. Maybe still use some of the ideas we've been discussing, anyway...

Thanks, Sergey (I think!) <g>

You may have saved me a lot of Access struggling, anyway.
