[AccessD] Strange Filter By Form Problem.

"Could this be an issue?"

Probably not - we share the same transgression - naming the control the same
as the control source - I do that because sometimes you need to refer to the
control source and sometimes the name.  I have been advised to make them
different.  I've ignored the advice at my peril. 

It was a shot in the dark.   

I don't use FBF - prefer to set the filter property through code.  Is there
someway to display the FBF filter so you can actually see how it's
filtering?

Hi Rocky:

No, they are simply bound comboboxes ... they display the text from the
related table, but the ID from the related table is bound. Hmmm ... but the
name of the controlsource is the same as the field (EX: field=facid,
combobox name= facid).

Could this be an issue?

Thanks!

form's recordsource.
