type mismatch - can't sort

[aoswald]

I input info into a combo box in a form. The info is a number that I then use to populate other fields in the form based on that number. When I try to sort based on that number I get a type mismatch error. Why is that? I would really like to be able to sort based on this field but I can't get past this "Type Mismatch" error

thanks for your help

It would be helpful to know how you are trying to sort the form? What code are you using?
