filter by form ADP problems

[sara4]

I have a form with 2 subforms on it.

The 2 subforms have a table-valued function as their recordsource and the input parameters property that 'reads' the parameter values (field values) from the main form.

It all works fine when I open the form...records in my subforms are ok.

If I apply the Filter By Form Access functionality on the main form and filter by a field that is used as a parameter for my subforms, the main form gets filtered correctly but the subforms remain as they were after the opening of the form. As if the subforms don't get the info that I filtered the main form. As if there's no automatism...th e problem is that I don't know how to make this work.

Any ideas?

then you need to requery the subforms in order to update them with the current filter applied to the main form.

me.ControlName. requery

I wish it was that easy...I'm trying to go with requery in applyfilter event but no change.

Have a look at your 'serverfilter' property for the form Sara and alter that to suit your requirements for the dataset supplied to the subform. Its difficult to supply an example for you, given I don;t strictly know the layout of what you have there... but 'serverfilter' is the direction you need to go
