Order By

How would i add order by to the syntax below:

"Select * Into ETCLog_holding from etclog where box# BETWEEN " & Box1 &
" and " & Box2

i have tried adding it after Box2 but it doesnt work.

Any ideas?I have tried and its executed ok adding "Order by" after Box2...may be
you shoud to revise "box#" part.

Good luck.|||(pkruti@.hotmail.com) writes:

You can add an ORDER BY clause after Box2, just to be careful to add a
space.

However, it is a fairly pointless thing to do. If you expect data in
ETCLog_holding to have a certain order, you are forgetting the fact
that tables are unordered sets.
