Filter Subform from Main form

J

JK

I know this is a lot to ask but would someone be able to tell me why the
following will not work? Using Access03 I put two date fields on my main form
so that I can use them to sort the data in the subform. I want the user to be
able to insert only one date. If a FROM date is entered, I want everything
after that date. If a TO date is entered, I want everything before that date.
This will not work for some reason. I'm also getting a lot of flickering when
I filter the subform - ugly - not sure how to fix that either - has something
to do with echo - right?

Thx for your help!

I think I might have found a solution. I found Allen Browne's search criteria
example and I think it will work for me in this situation.

That guy is a genious!
