hi Matt,
and now you see why no one else answered ... no solution to this without using code.
If you do not need to filter the form, then you don't have to call that procedure -- but, depending on what you're doing, the Where clause of OpenForm might not work ...
Before you can assimilate the help you've been given, you need a better foundation. Buckle up, take some deep breaths, and get started with VBA. That is where the power of Access gets unleashed!

Hope this helps.

PLEASE, when you reply, include the prior messages so everyone can see what is going on, thank you
Crystal,
If this already posted I am truly sorry. I didn't see it in the thread. (I'm not really up to speed no forums or groups).
I looked through your coding, which is amazing and can't wait to see if it works, however, I also noticed that it is asking me to set up a filter. I already do this in the form in my database. Is there a way to capture that filter string and place it in this coding? Also, where exactly will i put this, I was hoping to just have a command button for the user to press and get some feed back i.e. msgbox. I have copied a snippet of my coding here that sets up the filter of the form. Please let me know what you think. Again, thank you.
Matt
