Unbound form with bound subform

Hi,
I have a form which asks the user questions and then creates a partial
document number which I string together. I was hoping that after the
document number was created, I could use the Apply Filter in After Change or
After Update to have the subform display anything Like "EG-PNP-*".

Actually, nothing happens. I just display the entire bunch of records
without filtering. I can't use the parent/child link since the form doesn't
have anything to be bound to. What's wrong with my logic?

Thanks,

Take a look at Allen Browne's search form at;

I know you're not trying to "search" necessarily, but the code for his search
form builds a string and uses it as a filter, which sounds like basically
what you are trying to do.
