Using forms to select a report from multiple base queries
The filter should do it .....
Put a break in your code by adding the instruction stop
and check the string you are sending as a filter (when you pass your mouse
over a variable you can see it's content in a popup - or you can check the
var's values in the debug window).
Once you'll know what's wrong you'll be able to give us some more details or
to find the cure yourself.
Probably your filter name building code is incorrect
