Hi, Indu.

Create a query based upon the Call inquiry table. However, if your date
field really is named "Date," then I recommend that you change it to
something more descriptive, such as CallDate, because "Date" is a Reserved
word. Using it as a field name can cause bugs, such as applying today's date
to the record when the call was made on a different date. These types of
bugs are difficult to pin down and are best just avoided in the first place.

For the subform's Record Source Property, try:

SELECT *
FROM [Call inquiry]
ORDER BY CallDate DESC;

.. . . where Call inquiry is the name of the table and CallDate is the Date
data type field to be sorted on with the most recent records at the top of
the form. This query can be either a saved query (preferred) or a SQL
statement typed into the subform's Record Source Property.

If you use a saved query then after saving it, open the form in Design View,
then open the Properties dialog window, select the "Data" tab, and then
select the new query's name in the combo box for the subform's Record Source
Property.

HTH.

You're very welcome. And thanks for marking our replies as answers. It's
much appreciated. However, this Web site is still rather buggy and the
green check mark next to Ofer's reply is missing. He won't get credit
unless there's a green check mark for his reply, so please try marking it
again.

Thanks!

Every green check mark in this newsgroup counts towards that first silver
badge of yours! (Unless you earn a silver badge in Queries first, but it's
harder to get replies marked as answers in that newsgroup. I would expect
Forms to be your first silver.)

Is there a way to see the count of answers per group rather then the total?

 

['69 Camaro]

I asked Microsoft for this information, but they told me they can't release
that information to the public. So . . . without Microsoft's help, one
would need to use an application like Q-Built's "Campaign" application that
periodically queries Microsoft's database. At last count, the Microsoft
Community standings in the Access newsgroups you post in are:

Queries:
#1 Ofer 68 Bronze

Forms:
#1 Sprinks 83 Bronze
#2 Klatuu 72 Bronze
#3 Ofer 56 Bronze

Access General Questions:
#1 Tom Wickerath 74 Bronze
#2 '69 Camaro 69 Bronze
#3 Ofer 48 (Need 2 more for the Bronze)

Forms Coding:
#1 '69 Camaro 52 Bronze
#2 Klatuu 46 (Need 4 more for the Bronze)
#3 Ofer 45 (Need 5 more for the Bronze)

ModulesDAOVBA:
#1 '69 Camaro 53 Bronze
#2 Klatuu 39
#3 Ofer 35

Reports:
#1 Ofer 32

GettingStarted:
#1 Ofer 10
#1 KARL DEWEY 10

And you have about 31 more in the Hebrew newsgroups, but we don't track
those NG's. Of the 82 newsgroups we track, there are only two other people
outside of the Access community who have earned a badge in more than one
newsgroup: Duke Carey and Peo Sjoblom, each with two, because most of these
folks concentrate on answering questions in only a few newsgroups.

Several people have earned a silver badge in newsgroups for other Microsoft
applications, but that's because they concentrate on only one newsgroup.
Duke Carey is the exception, and it appears that we'll have several
Microsoft Community members in the Access newsgroups who will achieve this,
too. Sprinks is the closest to earning a silver badge, but I don't think
he'll be the first to earn the silver in the Access newsgroups, slowpoke
that he is. ;-) (Kevin, if you're reading this, yes, this is a
challenge -- especially after you were the first one to earn a bronze
badge!)

Obviously, Ofer, you're doing extremely well! You're either #1 or #3 in
every newsgroup you answer questions in. You have the highest number of
questions answered in the Access newsgroups. And you already have two
badges and will soon have two more, and will earn a few more in the near
future, as well as a silver badge, too.

Well done!

Thanks for that.
I just enjoy this group so much, its fun to see so many people helping
others just for the sake of helping.
Its driving my wife crazy, but ....

Thanks again for the info

 

['69 Camaro]

I have to admit it's a lot of fun to help people, and this forum allows us
to work with many interesting problems we'd rarely (if ever) encounter in
our daily jobs.

Now you can point out to your wife your successes -- and just how many
people you've been able to help who returned to the Web site to recognize
that fact. Your assistance is truly appreciated by a good many people.

Keep up the good work!
