have a report with a front end form to get date ranges and sorting order. used vb code to lauch one of two reports (one for sort by name, another for sort by date -- didn't know how to change sort order in report from the form) so now i want the ability to use a combo box in the form to select a particular person, and pass that as a filter to the report. it currently accesses a query with no sorting and the sorting setup is in the report grouping area. any help ?
