It looks to me like you are trying to use Sharepoint Designer to do this. But you can probably create a filtered view within your sharepoint site.
Go into the list settings create a new view and filter it there.
In the filter section choose something like Created for the "show the items when" field.
In the next field select "Is greater than"
and on the third field try typing [Today]-7
This should show you any list items that have been Created within the last 30 days.
Next go to your List, And if you created the List View correctly you should be able to find your view name in the View drop down box.
Hope that helps.
You created the new filtered view in the List Settings right? When you created this new view the first thing you did was gave it a name.
What i meant was go back out to your list, once there above the list items to the right of the screen, there is a drop down box. Click the drop down box and you should see the name of your new filtered view. Select it and if the filter was created correctly, you should only see the records that match your filter's criteria.
Or, go back into the list settings scroll down to the views, click on your new view to edit it. And in the Name section (which is the first section) put a check mark in the "Make this the default view" Option. Now when you exit the settings and go back to your list, you should only see the records that match your filter'scriteria.
