I have a main form and a subform.

I can 'filter' the data in the subform by using the arrow next to the column heading and selecting the filters I want to apply.

Is it possible to identify what 'filters' have been selected against the column so that it can be used elsewhere in vba code?
 
Dim strFilter As String
Dim frm As Access.Form
Set frm = Me.subformName.Form
strFilter = frm.Filter

Now you will have to look at the result, because you will likely have to do some string manipulation to get rid of the subform reference.
