[AccessD] Report Data Order Differs From Form or Query DataOrder

Hi Gustav,
Generally I accept what you are saying.
But, no matter what I do, I cannot get the report to have the same ORDER as
the Form.

The query is

SELECT *
FROM LotterySpring2008
ORDER BY LotterySpring2008.Mailsort;

The Query is called qryReportDataTemp.  The contents is dynamically created
from code where the tablename changes based on the user requirements.

The SOURCE for the Form is qryReportDataTemp
The SOURCE for the Report is also qryReportDataTemp

No filters, etc applied.
The Form shows records in correct order.
The Report does not.

Even if, as you suggest, I use the sorting/grouping option and explicitly
state "Mailsort" Ascending.  The ORDER of the records display in the report
is NOT the same ORDER as those display in the FORM or that which is shown if
you open the QUERY directly. 
 
It appears to me that there is a different ENGINE driving the Report.

Max

Hi Max

Yes, _always_ use the sorting/grouping option of the report (and leave the
source unsorted) if you have a specific sorting/order need - which is true
for most reports.

Is there a different "engine" used by the  RPORT as opposed to that used by
the FORM/QUERY?
