hi,
I've never heard of doing that with a filter but i suppose
it could be done. since your are using the word filter, i
assume you only have 1 table.
what i use is a criteria form. have the button on your
switchboard open the form.
the criteria form would have text boxes for name, other
and maybe checkboxes or options buttons to select what you
wanted to see. each checkbox would have it own query
assuming you wish to see data in different ways. depending
on what info you pull, each query may have it's own
report. or if you don't want the report, just have the
query come up in data sheet view.
but what i am discribing here may be more complex that you
want. maybe you could get by with a text box for name and
a go button.

Hi Shannie,
I do something similar with my customer list.
I have a separate form for viewing/editing customer information.
In your case substitute "member" for "customer".
On my MainMenu (switchboard) I have a combo box that selects CompanyID,
CompanyName, CompanyStreet, CompanyCity and CompanyState.
In the afterupdate event of the combobox I have code that opens the customer
form to the customer name selected.
I also have a command button that opens the customer form to a new record.

That might work for you.

Mike
