Gary,

Yes, you CAN!

01.     Copy that form and use the Company as Master Table.

02.     In Form Designer, Add Sales table as Slave table and then
         set Sales as your current table.

         Create a region with everything based on Sales table.

         Note: You don't need to locate any field or anything related to
         Company table, etc. on that form.

03.     EDIT USING SalesData +
         ARRANGE Sales BY OrderDate ASC +
         ORDER BY CName

         That will give the results you need.

         All records will be sorted by CName (table=Company)
         along with the OrderDate (table=Sales).

         or simply:

         EDIT USING SalesData ORDER BY CName

Hope that helps!

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
