I'm going to guess that because the code was in the Init event of the form, that might be why it doesn't take. The form kinda exists in the netherworld until the .Init event completes. We've solved that dilemma by creating an .InitialSetup method that is blank in the form base class but populated with necessary code at the sub-classed form level. This method is automatically run through via the application object's .DoForm() method so we know it's always run. We limit any code in the .Init of all forms. This also lets the form display faster.

Try putting your filter code elsewhere somehow and running it after the .Init event of the form fires.
