This isn't the answer, however it may give you some ideas.
If you look at the Northwind Db example(guessing you are using 2007). The purchase order module and recordsetwrapper class will show you some examples.
I hope this helps some.
Your code doesn't necessarily add it to the top of the table. It probably appears that way based on how the table is sorted. You can either change the saved sort that is on the table (if you have an autonumber, sort ASC on that) or add an order by clause in any subesequent querying you do on the table.

I actually have 2003 & the IT department will not give me access to the example databases
Thanks for your reply

The table is not sorted and the new entry always appears as the 1st entry
I know that I can sort when using queries but as I use a form that is directly linked to the table to view the records - so sorting a query is not an option
I need the newest entry to always be the last record in the table,
At present the newest entry is 1st , it then runs oldest to the 2nd last newest
If you hit the F5 key to refresh the form does it move to the bottom?
If so add
"Call Refresh" to your code.
I am trying to recreate what is happening to you so I can test some things. However, not doing a very good job at recreating it.
Hope this helps,
Dan
Hi mudraker,
Not wanting to be pedantic about this, but wouldn't your situation be an ideal reason to "have" a query between your table and form? Is there a reason why you MUST link your form directly to your table?I know that I can sort when using queries but as I use a form that is directly linked to the table to view the records - so sorting a query is not an option.
Cheers,

Even when I open & look at the table manually the newest entry is always the 1st entry in the table.

I am self taught & I am still at the early days of learning - & may not have learnt the best way to do this.
I extract data from a master table to a secondry table - this is done via 1 of 30 sql vba sql statements.
By having the data in a secondry table I can change entries without affecting the main database - this gives me the option of saving or discarding the changes I have made
In you control source field on your form put the following, with you fields.
SELECT [tbExtractedMeterDB].ID, [tbExtractedMeterDB].[Customer ID] FROM [tbExtractedMeterDB] ORDER BY [tbExtractedMeterDB].ID;
Basic break down.
Select (List fields here using a "," to seperate each field in the table you want to display) From [table name] ORDER BY Fields to Asc
So if you have 5 fields you want to display in your table. Giving your fields numbers 1-5. And you want to order them by field 3.
SELECT [tbExtractedMeterDB].[1], [tbExtractedMeterDB].[2], [tbExtractedMeterDB].[3], [tbExtractedMeterDB].[4], [tbExtractedMeterDB].[5] FROM [tbExtractedMeterDB] ORDER BY [tbExtractedMeterDB].[3]
Hope this helps,

The position of a record in an Access table should have no bearing.
If you are relying on the position then I think you are going to face problems.
Still having problems?

Still having problems at the moment
I may need to build a query that pulls all data from the table and then set the from to use the query
That is basically what my explanation is.Originally Posted by mudraker
You can click the ... button next to the control source of the form and basically embed the query into the form. It will give you an ouput like I posted above.
Let me know if you need anymore help,
Dan
