Subform record order?

[Atthe]

Hi All,

My database seems to have developed an issue. When I am adding new records using an emulated spiltform the record goes into the split form at the bottom (expected behaviour) but when I requery/or close re open the form all the records I have entered today appear first despite the PK being larger than the existing records below?

the table is sorted smallest to largest on the correct field

I have tried adding order by in vba in the on load event but this doesn't seem to make a difference

Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

use a "real" split form.

the table is sorted smallest to largest on the correct field

what is the 'correct field'?

what is the 'correct field'?

the primary key, the field name is ID Number

Yes, you are causing this in some way. I say that, as I had the same setup and it works as expected.

Yes I agree just wish I could work out what I have done

Well look at the data tab for the mainform, as if the subform has the latest at the top, so will the mainform.

I can't see anything amiss

So you are NOT using a table, but a query which is not even sorted?
