Question : Filter on a subform of a tab control

Each tab contains its own subform attached to a linked excel sheet.  I will be adding various filters on each tab but I think I have the wrong syntax.  The filters will located on the individual tabs with text boxes and/or command buttons.

Me.NCOsubform.Form.Filter = "[shippernum]=" & ShipperText
Me.NCOsubform.Form.FilterOn = True
