Hi Jeffrey.

sele finsyst
set filter to bfilenam = m.bfilenam

ThisForm.FileList.refresh()
thisform.filelist.requery() <<

What do you see when you browse the table? Also, IAC, you need the Requery before the refresh. You have to move the record pointer in the list's RowSOurce for the filter to take efeect.

I just got back from two weeks in the states and I am a little jet lagged. I'll take another look at this later in the weekend and get back to you.

As I said earlier, feel free to zip this stuff up and e-mail me.
