This is a little bit of work but seems to be a usable work around.
I added a integer column called cidorder to the sales table

Create view (VWtest) with data set that I want and order I want (Company Table and Sales Table)

CREATE VIEW `VWtest` AS  +
SELECT * FROM Company t1,Sales t2 WHERE t2.Cid = t+
1.Cid AND t2.ManCid = .vmancid AND t2.RepCid = .vrepcid AND +
t2.SDate = .vsdate AND t2.SCid IS NULL ORDER BY t1.cname ASC

PROJECT TEMP tmporder FROM vwtest USING ALL

AUTONUM cidorder IN tmporder USING 1 1 NUM

UPDATE sales SET cidorder = t2.cidorder FROM sales t1, tmporder t2 WHERE t1.sid = t2.sid (Sid is PK in sales)

EDIT USING edsales3 WHERE sid IN (SELECT sid FROM vwtest) ORDER BY cidorder

edsales3 is single table form with region

Using Windows 6.5++ Ver 1.866xRT03 Is there any way to order rows
in a single table form with a region based on a column in another table.

Here is what I have:

Company table
cid integer  - Unique id
cname (company name text 30)
...

Sales table
cid  integer
...

I need to edit data in the sales table only -
Edit form is single table based on the sales table and I would like to
order by cname,  I would rather not add the column to the sales table.


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.
