Permissions alphabetical order

[Guest]

When I open the permissions dialog box, Tables and Queries are shown in
alphabetical order, but Forms, and Macros are not. Now that I have hundreds
of Forms and Macros, searching to assign permissions is a chore. Can I sort
these alphabetically?

This has been an annoyance for me as well, and if anyone has a
solution I'd love to hear it!

The getaround I've found is that if you select the form in the Forms
window, and *then* choose Tools... Security... User and Group
Permissions, the selected form will *usually* (not always) be selected
in the dropdown as well.

Usually? Interesting John, as that has always worked for me. Have you
noticed a pattern as to when it doesn't?

Usually when I'm in a hurry and the Citrix connection is slow... and
browsing the list of forms takes three minutes or more... :-{/

I may have not actually selected the form the few times that it seemed
to have failed.
