I have a button on my form that runs a query when you
click on it. There is a field on the Form called "part
number" and a field in the query that is also called "part
number". I want to type a line of Visual Basic code that
automatically filters the query based on the Part Number I
have typed in on the form record that is currently active
on my screen. This is what I have typed so far:

DoCmd.ApplyFilter ([Queries]![Main Calculations]![Part
Number] = [Forms]![Remove]![Part Number].CurrentRecord)

This doesn't work. I know I'm really close--it's just a
matter of changing some brackets or adding periods or
something. I've done it once before but I can't remember
what exactly I'm supposed to type. Can anyone help?

Thanks!
 
Hi Eric

Try this:

Me.Filter = "[Part Number]=" & [Part Number]
Me.FilterOn = True

You could make it a toggle button instead of a command button, and use it to
turn the filter on and off. To turn it off, just say:
Me.FilterOn = False
