When adding records to an ADO table, the table does not get sorted so that the new record is where it should be in an alpha sort. It just appends the record to the end of the table. But, if I open the same table in MS Access 2003, the new item is displayed in its proper place. How can I sort the ADO table from within Dephi?

In general, you don't physicall sort the underlying table, you should apply an index so the records will appear in the desired order to the user. This is probably what Access is doing. This applies also when you are stepping through a table in some procedure which has to process the rows in a particular order. There are some special cases when sorting a table will improve performance. If you are interested I can probably find some postings to this ng that I can send you.

I have programmed for years using the BDE in Dephi and am just beginning to use ADO so I can access ACCESS tables. BDE table components will not access ACCESS tables. In ACCESS I try to place a key on the table and it says it cannot to it because it would create duplicate records, even when I select enough fields to break the problem. I don't even know where to begin with the ADO. I even tried some SQL calls and can't get that to work either. There doesn't seem to be much help on the internet either.

One has to be mindful of fields that contain null values.
