[AccessD] Question - subform filter

I'm not sure I understand.  You can, in fact leave a filter blank in the
property sheet of the form, but in code you have to turn the filter off,
set it to the new string, and then turn it back on.  I always save my forms
and subforms with blank filter properties as a matter of course.
