I have a listbox that I've populaed using the row source

SELECT DISTINCTROW [FirstName] & " " & [LastName] AS Name, Personnel.Email,
Personnel.[Voice Part], Personnel.LastName, Personnel.FirstName
FROM Personnel
WHERE (((Personnel.Email) Is Not Null) AND ((Personnel.Status)="Active"))
ORDER BY Personnel.LastName, Personnel.FirstName;

I have three columns and I would like to be able to sort by the columns. In
other words, sort by Name, then later sort by Email or [Voice Part]. I've
seen a bunch of examples and tried them but nothing seems to work.

Bruce

One approach is to add command controls "above" the listbox and use the
Click event on each to set the Listbox's source to a different SQL statement
(i.e., ORDER BY x -- whatever the command button is the 'label/header' for).

Good luck!

That's what I had in mind...but I'm not addressing it right...I made some
buttons with this code:

Me!lstMailTo.RowSource.OrderBy = Email
Me!lstMailTo.OrderByOn = True
Order By Email

'QuickList.RowSource = TheConstantValue
'Me.QuickList.Requery

Didn't work...

Another :

Dim strSQL As String

'set row source for list box
strSQL = ("[FirstName] & " " & [LastName] AS Name, Personnel.Email,
Personnel.[Voice Part]) _
FROM Personnel
WHERE (((Personnel.Email) Is Not Null) And ((Personnel.Status) = "Active"))
Me.lstMailTo.Recordset OrderBy = "Personnel.LastName",
"Personnel.FirstName";

Me!lstMailTo.RowSource = strSQL
Me!lstMailTo.Requery

but I'm getting all kinds of errors.

You provided the code you use to "fill" the listbox, ORDERed BY
[PersonLastName], [PersonFirstName].

Copy that SQL statement, but change the field you use in the ORDER BY clause
to reflect the column on which you wish to sort.

A listbox (unlike a Form) does not HAVE an OrderBy property.

Do as Jeff suggested: use your code to change the listbox's RowSource property
to a SQL string which sorts as you want it.

And that's what I'm TRYING to do...This is what I have now:

Dim strSQL As String

strSQL = Me.lstMailTo.RowSource

strSQL = strSQL & " " & ORDER By Personnel.Email

Me!lstMailTo.RowSource = strSQL
Me!lstMailTo.Requery

***********

strSQL is picking up the proper RowSource but when I try to add the ORDER BY
to the strSQL I'm getting a two ORDER BYs in my strSQL...the old one and the
new one...and so I get NOTHING in the ListBox lstMailTo

Name is a reserved Access/VBA/Jet word and should not be used as a
field name.
For additional reserved words, see the Microsoft KnowledgeBase article
for your version of Access:

For a more complete list of reserved words, see:
http://www.allenbrowne.com/Ap****ueBadWord.html

I've taken the liberty to rename your "Name" field to "EmpName".

You also have some quotes and parenthesis in the wrong place.
Try it this way:
The SQL for the list box stays the same for all columns *Except* for
the OrderBy part?
Code each button you use to change the OrderBy like this:

Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "Select [FirstName] & ' ' & [LastName] AS EmpName,
Personnel.Email, Personnel.[Voice Part] FROM Personnel
WHERE Personnel.Email Is Not Null And Personnel.Status = 'Active' "

Then add to each code the appropriate OrderBy clause.
If this is to order by the Email field add:
strSQL = strSQL & " OrderBy Personnel.Email;"

If this is to order by the [Voice Part] field, then use:
strSQL = strSQL & " OrderBy Personnel.[Voice Part];"

If this is to be used to order by the EmpName column:
strSQL = strSQL & " OrderBy Personnel.[LastName], Personnel.
[FirstName];"

No need to requery.

The problem is that strSQL is *the whole thing* - it isn't a complex object
with an Order By property that you can replace; it's just a text string. VBA
won't have a clue what you mean by the ORDER By Personnel.Email text there;
that's SQL text, not valid VBA code.

I'd suggest using a saved query in your table, without *any* ORDER BY clause,
and use code like

strSQL = Currentdb.QueryDefs("lstMailToTemplateQuery").SQL
strSQL = strSQL & " ORDER BY Personnel.Email"
Me!lstMailTo.RowSource = strSQL

You won't need to requery it - setting its rowsource does the job.

This all make sence...but I tried it and I get a blank screen. The strSQL
shows that everything is right.

"SELECT [FirstName] & " " & [LastName] AS MbrName, Personnel.Email,
Personnel.[Voice Part]
FROM Personnel
WHERE (((Personnel.Email) Is Not Null) AND ((Personnel.Status)="active"));
ORDER BY Personnel.Email"

Is it the semi-colon before the ORDER BY that does it? How do I get rid of
that?

Yes. Get rid of the semi-colon (and make sure there's a space between the
closing parenthesis and the key word Order)
