Sorting question
I have a table that sorts in chronolgical order by the description below:

backup.Source = "SELECT * FROM backup ORDER BY start_date ASC"

this works fine but I want to sort it the other way. Right now it sorts from a-z but how would I have it sort from z-a?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

instead of ASC use DESC (for descending) ...

Hope that helps ?
