Great, thank you, That fixed it. Sort of anyway

It initially appears to have done nothing, but if I then close my program and restart it then the records are in date order. Is there some way to force a sort at runtime?

Many thanks for the help.

you need to convert the data in text format to date format and then sort.
Share your Knowledge.

In your code put this query before you bind it in the grid...

Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. "select * from [tablename] order by datefield asc"
A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
