Well Steven I would say to do a work around and not a filter



select recno() as recno, *; && record number and every field

then get _TALLY

n_tot = _TALLY && returns number of records returned by query
then upon exit of the form update the orignal table
do while n_tot <> 0
select tmp_tbl
m = tmp_tbl.recno
select org_tbl
goto m
replace org_tbl.a with tmp_tbl.a, org_tbl.b with tmp_tbl.b
n_tot = n_tot - 1
select tmp_tbl
skip 1
enddo

this will replace everything, which is not what you want but it is on the right path, you could add a logical field called "change" and make it "T" after a record is changed, then only update those records

hope this helps
