    Apply a Filter to a Form


    How do I apply a filter that automatically loads when a form is opened? For example, I have a check box and I only want to load records where the box is checked.

    There are 2 approaches fundamentally:

    * use the record source - i.e. query - to establish the record set
    * use a full record set but apply a filter to the form property - this is accomplished in the 'Where clause' that is part of the command argument which is opening the form such as a command button's property

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
