Filter Property on Access form not working

I have a parent form with a two child forms that displays records. But I will only be concerning you with one subform that displays records from the recordsource of the main form, also the boxes: From: , Folder: , Batch: (2) , Analyzed (2) and List button. The user inputs of these boxes will determine the where statement for the filter property on the main form. The goal is to be able to filter the recordsource (qryInstrumentInterfaceLog) that controls the records displayed in the Instrument Interface Log according to what the boxes specify. For example if I set folder to 'New', only the record with 'new' in the folder column will be displayed. The picture below may help: from a question I asked on stackoverflow {Illegal link redacted}. I use the agreed upon code format for setting the filter property and yet I keep getting an empty filter property of the main form. The provided link will have the code. There is an answer but even after changing my code to the suggested code I found no change in my results. Is there some type of form setting I have to set other than my code that is deterring me from filling my filter property on my main form?

Hi Victoria.

I'm sure there will be people wanting to help you with this, but for that you must include the details of the question fully in your post. Expecting experts to trawl around for where the question is will not encourage us to help you.
