Default Filter Or Macro?

I have a form set up in the datasheet few. The information comes from a
query.

To, From, Date, UPC.

I would like anyone to open the form and search by any of the 4 topics. I
would like the form to show results. Say, search by month and only lines
with that month appear in the form or subform.

Filters are confusing me but not as much as Macro's. Whats the easiest way
to do this?


Thank You

You need cascading combo boxes. Allen Browne at www.allenbrowne.com or Martin
Greene at www.fontstuff.com both have excellent examples.
