[AccessD] "ApplyFilter" hassles

I don't understand why you're filtering the subforms that way instead of
using the master and child links.  That would eliminate the "filter"
aspect entirely.

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?
