Clear form button and the code to make it work

I am using a form to sort a report, but I can't seem to get the "clear form" button to work. I used the wizard when I installed the button, using the clear form option under the form option list. What I want to be able to do is clear the information on the drop down combo box in case I want to change the sort order. This is what the code looks like now:

Option Compare Database

Code:

Private Sub close_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_close_Click


    DoCmd.close

Exit_close_Click:
    Exit Sub

Err_close_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Resume Exit_close_Click
    
End Sub

Private Sub cmdSetSort_Click()

    Dim strSQL As String, intCounter As Integer
    'Build strSQL String
    For intCounter = 1 To 4
        If Me("cboSort" & intCounter) <> "" Then
        strSQL = strSQL & "[" & Me("cboSort" & intCounter) & "]"
        If Me("Chk" & intCounter) = True Then
            strSQL = strSQL & " DESC"
        End If
        strSQL = strSQL & ", "
    End If
    Next

    If strSQL <> "" Then
        'Strip Last Comma & Space
        strSQL = Left(strSQL, (Len(strSQL) - 2))
        'Set the OrderBy property
        Reports![rptPersonnel].OrderBy = strSQL
        Reports![rptPersonnel].OrderByOn = True
    Else
        Reports![rptPersonnel].OrderByOn = False
        
    End If

End Sub


Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
' Open the report maximized, in Print Preview
    DoCmd.OpenReport "rptPersonnel", acViewPreview
    DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub

Private Sub Refresh_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Refresh_Click


    DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, 5, , acMenuVer70

Exit_Refresh_Click:
    Exit Sub

Err_Refresh_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Resume Exit_Refresh_Click
    
End Sub

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I would appreciate some help. Also attached is a picture of what my sort box looks like.

Never mind, I figured out the answer by myself. For those that are interested about the answer though, here is what I figured out:

Code:

Private Sub cmdClear_Click()
On Error Resume Next
Me.cboSort1 = ""
Me.cbosort2 = ""
Me.cboSort3 = ""
Me.cboSort4 = ""
cboSort1.SetFocus
End Sub

Hope this helps those of us out there that are still trying to puzzle their way through VBA and Access.
