Question : Open Access 2007 form with filter, then allow Goto Selection on form

Stumbled across a small problem in my database.  
I have two forms Customer_list and Customer_details.
Both forms work as designed stand alone. One lists all the customers and the other lists the customer details.

I am opening a form called Customer_Details two ways "directly by opening" and from a click function on the Customer_list output. The second one uses the command

 DoCmd.OpenForm "Customer_Details", , , "OperatorMC = '" & Me!OperatorMC & "'"

As I said this works perfectly and presents the user with the customer details.
However, on the Customer_Details form I have a GotoContact selection option based on an unbound control, which lists customers using the following SQL.

SELECT [OperatorMC], [OperatorName] FROM Customers_tbl ORDER BY [operatorName];

However,  when i use the gotoContact selection after arriving at the form from clicking the customer returned from the form Customer_List I cannot get the Customer_details form to present the chosen customer details. I think this is because the form has been opened with a filter previously.  How would I code the form to work in both ways.  ie how do I turn off the filter when I want to use the GotoCustomer selection ?


thanks in advance

I'm assuming that you are doing the GotoContact in the AfterUpdate event of a combo or a list.  If so, add a line of code that resets the filter on the form.  This will have to be before the code that attempts to find the record you have selected.

me.Filter = ""
me.FilterOn = false
