What's the recordsource of the form? Table or query?
Whenever I want to sort a form, I always use a query or SQL statement as the form's recordsource. The way you're doing it should work, but since I never do it that way myself I'm not sure what's going on there.
Anyone run a desktop clock in XP? I'm looking for something that displays seconds.
The recordsource is a table-- but I frankly did it that was because I am using a template, and that is the way the template did it. I just went into the table, sorted the table, and now it sppears to be sorted correctly.

The built in clock (the one you see if you double click on the time in the system tray) shows seconds.
Yes, but I don't want to have the Properties window on display all the time. [eta: I'll surely change something in an AltTab mistake]
I futzed around and found Qlock, which fits my needs neatly. It'd be even better if it floated transparently on top of everything, but I'll make do.
I need to find some transparent jpeg (?) icons that are free, are from the same icon set, and represent news segments (entertainment, world news, U.S. news, travel, food, technology, etc.). Anyone know of such a beast?
ETA: These are to display on a Web site.
You're not going to get transparent and JPG--you'll need GIF for that, and it's a dicey proposition since the sides need to be either horizontal or vertical with no anti-aliasing for you to achieve true transparency.
Or PNG--that'll get you true transparency. Do most browsers support it now?
But I have no idea where to find them. Just wanted to tweak your search.

IE was the last holdout on transparent PNG's -- but of course, that's a pretty big holdout, as far as market share goes. As of IE7, it's now supported, but I don't have numbers handy for how many IE users have made the switch.
Hmm. I wonder if I have any browser stats lying around for our user base...not that we're
that
representative.
Nah, nothing past 2006 which is more IE6.
