Use an Access Query to do the filtering. It is much better to do the data
Doing the task another way is not the way to cure the problem. It should be
easy and it should just work.

It doesn't do it every time, only when the second paramater is an OR
statement. ANDs are fine.

I've had similar problems and wondered if you'd found a solution. Both data
and filter are from 2007 versions of Office. The filters not only reproduce
but also add various other options, like "OR field='blank'" This happens with
simple AND queries not just OR as with yours. Did you find an answer or is
this an application error?
