[AccessD] "ApplyFilter" hassles

Not sure if this will help...
When ever I modify an A2K file (except data entry) using AXP, it never seems to work correctly.
When developing in A2K, in my experience, you must use A2K.
My suggestion is to open the file in A2K, make a few minor changes, then save it to see if that corrects the problem.  If not, import all objects into a new container.

Subject: [AccessD] "ApplyFilter" hassles


Using Access 2002 - but saving my application in Access 2000 format - I
have been busily creating a form with a bunch of sub forms.  Each sub form
is populated from a field in the main form (e.g. SELECT tbl_Names.* where
tbl_Names.Ref_Dept = frm_Main.cmb_Dept).  This all worked fine on the
machine where I'm busy developing it.

I copied the app across to the target machine - which uses Access 2000 -
and tried to run it.  Whenever it encounters one of these sub forms, I
receive an error 4288 - "You can't use the ApplyFilter action on this
window."

This would be a useful message ... if it weren't for the fact that I'm not
using the ApplyFilter action - ANYWHERE!

Anyone seen this before?  Anything I need to be aware of that can fix this?
