[MS_AccessPros] Not in List working with Filter by form - or not!

 

Having poured over my books, looked at web forums, had cups of tea - I'm stuck, can you give some guidance please?

I have a form with a combo box.  The record source is a simple select from a table.  The combo box property "Limit to List" = Yes and it works wonderfully.  It limits the users to picking from the drop down list.  If Filter by Form is chosen from the ribbon / menu and a value such as "Broker*" is placed in this combo box (to see all records that start with the word "Broker" rather than selecting a specific broker) the Not in List event fires before the filter is applied.
How can I tell the Filter by Form mechanism to ignore the Limit to List and just get on with displaying the records?  Do I have to use the Before Update event on the combo box field to recognise things like *, ?, ! and emulate the Not in List functionality?
All thoughts welcomed.  Thanks.
Ray
