[Simple Filter Question]

For some reason I can't get this to work. I have one
field in my database that has only three options to
choose from. For a report I am making all I want is one
of these options, so I am trying to filter saying in the
design view under criteria: Like "entry1". Why won't
this work. I still end up getting the other two in my
query. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming you're talking about the report's Filter property? If so,
you have to include the column name in the report's RecordSource. E.g.:

Report's
RecordSource: SELECT id, Option FROM Table
Filter: Option = "entry1"
Filter On: Yes

You see that in the RecordSource there is a column named "Option" and in
the Filter we are telling the report that we only want records where the
value of the Option column equals the word "entry1."
