 Hey Dale,   Are you using the new spreadsheet that we sent you? This should have allowed you to use the comma.

It's your built in "user" table so I wasn't able to add "UserType" to it.  :( All the Field Service Engineers are in the "FIELD SERVICE" Role.  Can I sort by that?

Excellent!  So glad to hear this.   I find myself using this trick a lot now myself when designing screens in Method, and it really does make a difference. Glad to be of help. Paul

 Ok.  Figured it out. Problem:  There were comma's contained in one, and in some cases, two fields.  The comma creates a separate record.  This was a problem in both the Name field where I was entering them as "Last, First" and in the Company filed where there some listings such as "ABC Company, ...

I have a "Call Report" Screen and it has a "Field Service Report" Section, I also have a Field Service Report Screen.

Is there a way to have the drop down list sort the list from Z to A, in reverse order?  This particular list is for "Call Reports", we only need to see the last few Reports on the dropdown list.  but it shows reports 1 - 10 up to 50.  I'd rather have reports 99 - 89 down to 50, because the first 50 will be old and ...

What I want is to have a user be able to add to the drop down list.  currently it comes up with a list of users i have put into the system.  If for some reason, a different name needs to be put in that section then I want the user to be able to override the list and just type in a name.  is that possible?
