The A-Z sort button in .mde files

Am new'ish to access and wondered if it was easily possible to distribute the
A-Z & Z-A sort buttons into the run time version of access? i.e. at the .mde
front end. Is an option anywhere when it gets published? I can see lots of
ways to do it via forms (i.e. as a button etc). Grateful for any input.

First, don't conflate MDE with the runtime. You can distribute an MDE to
users where the runtime is not involved and you can distrubute an MDB that
is used with the runtime. Your specific question has zero to do with MDE
versus MDB and is strictly a runtime issue.

What the runtime does is eliminate all built in menus and toolbars and this
is where you ususally find the sorting buttons you describe. What you can
do though is create your own custom menus and toolbars and those can be used
in the runtime and you can include the sorting buttons on those custom
command bars.

Rick,
Thanks for the response, have found it then under view, toolbars then
customise. Will have a play in this area as there is a create option.

Thanks
