Query by Form To Filter Products to Order

Hi,

I'm using Northwind.mdb as the basis for creating a simple supply order. I want to restrict the products that are available to order in the order subform based on a particular supplier in the main form. Ideally, I also want to restict based on the product category. "Mastering Access 2002" shows a Query by Form example that should work. I created a unbound combo box on the main form and it does work to restrict the products shown in the filter query. But when I put it together with the "apply filter" macro as a "After Update" event, it doesn't filter the products available on the subform.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Is the filtering technique the wrong way to go?
Thanks!
