In the form's OnOpen( ) event, try:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
RunCommand acCmdFilterByForm
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox "Error in Form_Open( ) in" & vbCrLf & _
Me.Name & " form." & _
vbCrLf & "Error #" & Err.Number & vbCrLf & Err.Description
Err.Clear
End Sub

Sorry, just one more quick question:
How can I stop the form opening with the last filter searched for?

Before you running the filter, run me.Filter =""
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
me.Filter =""
RunCommand acCmdFilterByForm
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox "Error in Form_Open( ) in" & vbCrLf & _
Me.Name & " form." & _
vbCrLf & "Error #" & Err.Number & vbCrLf & Err.Description
Err.Clear
End Sub

Thank you for this. Works fine. Is there anyway to clear the last filtered
search when the form opens as well?
