I hava form that will be used to filter a query.&nbsp;&nbsp;I would like the users to only use buttons on the form, not on a toolbar.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is an &quot;Edit Filter&quot; button on the form that takes the user to the Filter by Form window to make the criteria choices.&nbsp;&nbsp;In this window, I would like the user to be able to click a button to apply the filter options that have been chosen.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have make an &quot;Apply Filter&quot; button using the wizard, but none of the buttons are available in the Filter by Form window - they are &quot;greyed out&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;Does anyone know how to change this so the Apply Filter button is available for use?<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Angie Wenzel<br>
 
Angie, having same problem. Did you have any joy with this?

Angie & Dom, I don't think that you can make the button available for use but there is a workaround that I've used:

Create a new shortcut menu for the form which has the apply filter/sort command on it. This will then be available in the filter by form window. You can change the text/image so that it fits in with your 'scheme'. Robbo ;-)
