Private sub cmd_Sort_Click
dim strOrderBy as string
strOrderBy = me.subformcontrolname.form
strOrderBy = "[FieldName]" & Iff(instr(strOrderBy, "DESC") =0, " DESC", NULL)
me.subformcontrolname.Form
me.subformcontrolname.Form
ENd Sub
Note: you must replace "subformcontrolname" with the name of the subform control as it is seen in the Name property when viewing the main form in design view. Do not confuse this with the subform's sourceobject.

Looks promising but crashes on the last line:
Error 2465 Application Defined or object defined error.
BTW changed 'iff' to 'iif' ; )

Hey,
It's early, and I hadn't had my coffee yet. And what good is a programmer who hasn't had his/her first cup of coffee?
