Hi all I've never found a use for Switch() but the other day a client asked me to sort a small combobox in a weird way without adding a new column with a sort index. Here you can use Switch(). An example is how to sort colours by description: <SQL> SELECT ID, Description FROM tblColours ORDER BY Switch( [Description]="Red",1, [Description]="Yellow",2, [Description]="Green",3, [Description]="Cyan",4, [Description]="Blue",5, [Description]="Magenta",6, True,9); </SQL> Note the last item for "catch any not listed". /gustav
