is it possible to hide the column with the heading <> in qryMemAll? also what is this showing just out of interest?
go into the design of qryMemAll(2), doulble click the join and select option 1 in the join properties window.
it is/was showing the other data that existed in tblMem but not in qryTest.
The change above will get rid of this column.
As far as resorting the records, when you use a group by I believe its automatic on the alpha sorting. I don't know of a way to get rid of it. My apologies.
Hope I was of help
