I have a database through Access that holds name's and addresses. There are duplicate names so the primary key is the generic counter. My question is how can i sort that database from VB6 to where all the names are in order and when using the data controlit scrolls in alphabetical order... Thanks..

Hi Wookie,

For example, your table is address_detail and fields are name,state,... Then you have to declare the following statement in form_load even if you are using Data Control.

Private Sub Form_Load()

Data1.RecordSource = "select * from address_detail order by name"

End Sub

Now you will get what you have expected at the time of execution.

Bye!.
