Why do sortable columns produce this error? It works in Access 2000 with ' around the Model Number (ORDER BY 'Model Number')
Error: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Model Number'. (Microsoft JET Database Engine)
SELECT * FROM [Laptop computers] ORDER BY Model Number

Maybe the space in the field name.
The order by is looking at two words, not a single field name.

Change...
SELECT * FROM [Laptop computers] ORDER BY Model Number
To....
SELECT * FROM [Laptop computers] ORDER BY [Model Number]
Since the field has a space in it - you need to have the []. The answer was before you... e.g, [Laptop computers]
That's all

Code Charge Studio v2.1 generated the query. Can I get it to generate correct syntax by making a project setting? How would I modify the source code to generate the correct syntax?
Thanks,

In general it's a good idea not to use spaces in tabel names. Use underscore instead i.e:
Model_number and Laptop_computers
Saves a lot of trouble
