[AccessD] Simulate AutoFilter

I'd like to create a form in Access which simulates the AutoFilter 
functionality in Excel. Basically, it's the size of the files (1.5 million 
records) that makes Excel less useful than it would be otherwise. I doubt 
the company wants to spring for Office 2007 just now to have Excel's 
capacity increase.

Does anyone know of a sample database or just some instruction on how to 
build such a puppy? I've got about 40 fields; will this require 40  combo 
boxes, or is there another way?

TIA.
