Using a continuious form to search - coding problems

[agrenter]

hi group,

I am using a continuous form and filters to make a user-friendly search
form. But the filter is being applied, and I'm also getting a
parameter box that pops up- so the filter isn't even using the form. I
think its a problem in my coding, which is pasted below. Any help is
greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Dim strWhere As String 'The criteria string.
Dim lngLen As Long 'Length of the criteria
string to append to.
Const conJetDate = "\#mm\/dd\/yyyy\#" 'The format expected for
dates in a JET query string.
