I can’t figure this out. I have a query pulling data from a couple sources. The first two columns are [Number of Questions Asked] and [Here’s More Clicked]. The third column is a sum of these two columns, [Total Hits]. I’m trying to order by this summed total column.

However, when I do my ORDER BY [Total Hits] DESC and run the query, the query asks me to enter [Total Hits]. What am I doing wrong?

[Total Hits] is a variable created in the query. I’m doing the following to calculate [Total Hits] in the query.

(IIf(IsNull([Number of Questions Asked]),0,[Number of Questions Asked])+IIf(IsNull([Here's More Clicked]),0,[Here's More Clicked])) AS [Total Hits]

    not sure, and its been a while using Access. However, can you specify the oridinal column position that your “Total Hits” column represents in the query… ex: if its the 5th field, use “order by 5”
