The message indicates that there is something wrong with the filter string.
Perhaps there is a spelling mistake, or perhaps the delimiters are wrong.
For example, if CKCNBR is a Number type field (not a Text type field), drop
the extra quotes:
strfilter = "([EKCNBR] = " & Me![bxAcctNbr] & ") And ...
One way to see how this should look would be to make a query into this
table. Put any old number as an example under the 2 fields. Then switch to
SQL view (View menu), and see what the WHERE clause looks like. At least you
know what strfilter should end up like.
Now add this to your code:
Debug.Print strFilter
After it messes up, open the Immediate Window (Ctl+G) and compare what it
wrote to what you saw in the query.

I am still getting the error message "You canceled the previous
operation". Is there another way to process this request?
Thanks for your help

news:1e**************************@posting.google.c om... I have your typically form/subform. You enter the account number in a
textbox and select whether you want to see the detail or summary
information on the main form. Both fields I want to filter on are
text. Here is a sample of the code I am using.
The filtering works fine when I do them independently (see below)
Forms![frmPaymentSearch].[sbfrmPaymentSearch].Form.Filter = "[EKCNBR]
=" & Me![bxAcctNbr]
Forms![frmPaymentSearch].[sbfrmPaymentSearch].Form.Filter =
"[BREAKLVL] =" & "'" & 2 & "'"
When I combine them, I receive the error message "You canceled the
previous operation" when it hits the filterOn = true line.
strfilter = "[EKCNBR] = """ & Me![bxAcctNbr] & """" & " And " &
"[BREAKLVL] = "" & 2 & """
Forms![frmPaymentSearch].[sbfrmPaymentSearch].Form.Filter = strfilter
Forms![frmPaymentSearch].[sbfrmPaymentSearch].Form.FilterOn = True
Can anyone figure this out? Thanks for any help you can provide
