Access 2007 Multiselect Form Filter (MS Bug?)

Asked by dparkes in Microsoft Access Database, Access Forms

We have a table which includes a field set to be a Multiselect dropdown box.  

Problem is, when a form is created, it is possible to filter on all of the fields except for the multiselect field.  When I right, click on the multiselect field, it says "Contains #error" in the conext menu where filter commands would normally be.

It appears this is either a bug, and/or MS did not exactly complete the multiselect functionality in Access.

Does anyone know if there is any nice way to filter based on a multiselect field?
