Are you changing the query. If so, you don't need to requery. Simply input
Me.Recordsource = <NewRecordSource>
Ex:
Dim s As String
s = "Select * From Emp Where LastName = 'Smith'"
Me.Recordsource = s
Usually my form will have a recordsource like
s = "Select * From Emp"
Me.Recordsource = s
so I have all records available in the table and then I may do some
things like
Dim s As String
s = "HireDate > #1/1/2005# And Dept = 'Accting' And Sex = 'M'"
Me.Filter = s
Me.FilterOn = True
and thus I filter the records based on criteria I have defined on the form.
