Re: FACSAria sort report

Robin,

If you sort from a global worksheet, the info in 
the sort report vanishes when you move on to the 
next tube, just as you describe.  If, on the 
other hand, you sort from regular (tube-specific) 
worksheets, the sort report info remains 
associated with the tube.  Just open up the sort 
element under the tube that you're interested in 
and then create a sort report as normal.  Make 
sure to create a new sort element (you can 
duplicate the old one) or new tube prior to 
hitting the sort button to start the next sort.

Hope that makes sense.	If not, give me a call at 
work and I can walk you through it.  BTW, I'm 
running DiVa 4.1.2.
