[AccessD] Selecting Filtered records in Datasheet

[David Emerson]

Thanks Stuart,

I was able to use Rocky's suggestion to extract the actual filter.  This
will be useful because the same form prints out reports based on the
selected records - I can add the same filter to the recourdsource queries.

Regards

David

The key to this is the last sentence of the Help entry fro RecordsetClone:

The RecordsetClone property setting is a copy of the underlying query or
table specified by the form's RecordSource property. If a form is based on a
query, for example, referring to the RecordsetClone property is the
equivalent of cloning a Recordset object by using the same query. If you
then apply a filter to the form, the Recordset object reflects the
filtering.
