Mick

Sorry I posted this to the wrong group originally.

How do I get the DBRW to sort a number field please. Currently the results
list looks like
1,11,111,2,21,222,3,31,333
I would like it to read like a human
1.2.3.4...........21,22, etc.
I know ive seen this thread and answer before, but cant find it. Sorry for
asking again, many thanks

Hi Murray, long time no "speak". I hope Im in the right forum lol.

I dont know if its an issue with the asp or an access database problem. When
I produce a list of records the reference field (text) is listed as below.
(sorry been back into the database to check its status, its definitely a text
field) I need a way to convert the text so it is recognised as a number, and
then sorted numerically.

kind regards
