Hi,

I have a list box on a form, whose row source points to a separate
query. The query refers to a field on the form to filter records on
the list box, like such: WHERE tblA.DesignType = [Forms]![frmForm1]!
[txtDesignType]).

Now I want to put this list box on a second form. Rather than create
a second query that would reference a field on the second form, I want
to try to use the same query, and make it generic.

Can I take off the WHERE clause from the query, and put it somewhere
on the form? In other words, can I filter the query by adding a
filter to each of these two forms, to filter the list box?

I know I could put the query's SQL directly into the row source of the
form, but because it joins about 6 tables, I'd prefer to keep it
separate and easier to read.

Thanks in advance..

put your textbox on a "common" form that you always have open and
update it as required for your filter. remember to requery the active
listbox
