Mike,
You could include item# as part of where clause.

create sql view as select .... where ItemNo = ?nItemNum

Add it in DE with NoDataOnload.

In init of form :

lparameters tnItemNumber
nItemNum = tnItemNumber
requery("myView")

anytime you need to change it you would just change nItemNum and requery. IMHO it's much better than using filter.
