Just tested this with bookstore/test/testBOOKSList.jsp: <db:dbform multipart="false" autoUpdate="false" followUp="/tests/testBOOKSList.jsp" maxRows="*" tableName="BOOK" orderBy="ISBN DESC" >
[SELECT BOOK_ID, ISBN, AUTHOR_ID, TITLE FROM BOOK ORDER BY ISBN DESC] So in bookstore example it works as you expected. Also subforms are working: <db:dbform autoUpdate="false" followUp="/tests/testAuthorBooksSubForm.jsp" maxRows="*" tableName="BOOK" parentField="AUTHOR_ID" childField="AUTHOR_ID" orderBy="ISBN DESC" > [SELECT BOOK_ID, ISBN, AUTHOR_ID, TITLE FROM BOOK WHERE ( ( ( AUTHOR_ID = ? ) ) ) ORDER BY ISBN DESC] Regards, Henner > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im > Auftrag von jitu > Gesendet: Montag, 16.
