=========You want to filter the main form without affecting the subforms, is 
this correct? I admit, I don't really understand this decision, but there 
are tons of ways to filter the main form -- you don't need to use .filter. I 
prefer SQL myself. Is the user choosing the criteria? My favorite and 
overused method is to let the user choose and then click a Command button 
that executes a SQL statement that evaluates the values in the "criteria" 
controls. This is pretty standard and easy to do -- I suspect you've got 
something unique going on?

=========You are declaring the bookmark variable as a Static, right?
