Question : Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression

I receive the following error message when I attempt to run a query from the search page.

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'gendate = #7/23/2010# ORDERBY boss DESC, employee ASC'.

If I remove the end of the statement (ORDERBY boss DESC, employee ASC), I receive results. But I want to sort the records.  

Please advise a possible solution.  Thank you.

Answer : Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression

Hi,

I believe the correct statement is ORDER BY, not ORDERBY in your query.
Other than this, it looks fine.

Regards.
