Filter problem in subform.

I have a main form with two subforms each in it's own tab. Each of the subforms have a filter and On load I have "Me.FilterOn = True" set. When I load the form the filter only works on the first tab. The second tab will not filter even when I set the filter exactly the same as the first tab. Clicking on the filter button on the menu bar doesn't work either as it gives the same records whether clicked or not.

Cheers

I am not sure, but I believe the subform open event occurs before the main form open event; therefore I would try applying the subform filter in the main form's open event, using the following syntax:

Me.YourSubformControl1.Form.FilterOn = True
Me.YourSubformControl2.Form.FilterOn = True
