Help! with myfilter confusion.

H

I seem to be running into a brick wall with this one.
Using Access 2007, I’m trying to create a drill down scenario.
I have a Datasheet form where I’ve set a fields “Display As Hyperlinkâ€
property to Screen Only.
The field is Text because it contains numbers that may have leading 0’s.
ex. 07093
I have assigned the below “On Click†event procedure to the field.

****************************************
Private Sub Zip5_Click()
Dim myFilter As String

myFilter = "[Zip5] = "" & [Zip5] & """

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmViewtblQry1", acViewPreview, , myFilter, acWindowNormal

End Sub
****************************************

The above code is setting my filter property to:
[Zip5] = " & [Zip5] & "

If I use:
myFilter = "[Zip5] = " & [Zip5]

I get:
[Zip5] = 07093
in the filter property and no data.

I need the myfilter to populate the filter property like:
[Zip5]="07093"

I’m turning gray trying all types of variations but I can’t seem to get it
right.
How do I set myfilter to give me quotes around the Zip5 I clicked on?

Thanks
