My SQL is a little rusty, but something like this should accomplish it. SELECT measurementdescriptions "Measurement Description" FROM measurements ORDER BY measurementdescriptions; *EDIT:Yeah, don't mind me, PsychoCoder's code it correct >.> Marking this out to avoid confusion.

SQL SELECT measurementdescriptions "Measurement Description" FROM measurements ORDER BY measurementdescriptions; Actually the code I gave is the correct way of doing it. You dont use double quotes " in SQL, and you hafve to have the AS statement as well. SQL select measurementdescriptions AS 'Measurement Description' FROM measurements ORDER BY Measurement Description EDIT: You can use double quotes "" if you use SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON This post has been edited by PsychoCoder: 18 Oct, 2007 - 11:50 AM
