    Past dated work orders

    Need a way to re-sort work orders chronically (date) instead of WO Number.
    Important when looking at equipment history. It should read from earliest to latest, not by an arbitrary WO number.

    WO Number uses the AutoNumber function in Access, so it can't be deleted (and re-sorted, that I know of) unless you unlink all tables first. That could be a pain....

    AutoNumber will only prevent us from having 2 records with the same WO Number.

    Is anybody out there??

    augi.com? I don't think they get much traffic either, but ~shrug~

    This feature request was posted earlier in the forum and I have entered it as an enhancement request for a future version of FMDesktop.
