Special Edition Using Microsoft Office Access 2003

Filter by Form Doesn't Find the Expected Records

Either too few records or records extraneous to the filter appear when using Filter by Form.

Access keeps your last filter settings for a table until you close the table. If you've applied a different filter whether through filter by selection or filter by form earlier in your current work session Access might be applying additional filter criteria that you're not expecting. Right-click the datasheet, and choose Remove Filter/Sort to clear all previous filter criteria and ensure that the new filter criteria you enter are the only ones in effect. Alternatively, choose Records, Remove Filter/Sort from the main Access menu.
