Filter main form based on subform filter

I have 2 tables. One master, one child using Access 2003 (PC)

Have 2 forms. The main form is continuous while the sub is datasheet.

I can filter on the main form and the subform filters with it. No problem.

My goal is to be able to filter on the subform and have the main form filtered with it. Thought it would be simple but I for a week solid I have not been able to solve this on my own. I have review a zillion websites and still can't find a solution.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
