ACC2000: Can't Use Client-Side Filtering in an ADP Report with Grouping

The bookmark was invalid.

IRowsOffset would position you past either end of the rowset, regardless of cRows value specified; cRowsObtained is 0.

RESOLUTION

To successfully create a report that implements both grouping and filtering, use the ServerFilter property instead of the Filter property.
