I changed the sort order on the report but to nothing happened. That's when I
noticed that when the form is saved, the subform actually saves in reverse
order it is typed. In other words, the last record typed in the subform saves
with the lowest potransid.

One option is to print in potransid order (key field for your PO Item
detail). Since this should be generated in the order in which it is keyed it
should come out right.

The other thing you will see in older program (much older) is an actual line
number field that defaults, pretty much the same thing but always starts with
1 for each new PO (master) and increments every time a detail record is added
for THAT PO.
EG:
PO #1000 has two detail (subform records) PODetailNum 1 and PODetailNum 2
PO #1001 has three detail records PODetailNum 1, 2 and 3

The top solution is the easier and most common solution, just using your
existing key as a sort order for the report. Hope this works for you!

I have a database that has a form for purchase orders. It auto-generates a
purchase order number. The user types in customer information. The form also
