When you add a filter to a control such as a repeating table, the filter should be able to work automatically (i.e. require no user interaction). If you run into a situation where this is not working, you can try the following steps.

1. Make a backup of your form template.
2. Extract your form files to a folder.
3. Edit the manifest.xsf file in a text editor.
4. Search for and delete any attribute useFilter="yes" on an xsf:editWith element. Don't delete the element, just the attribute.
5. Search for and delete any xsf:button elements with the attribute action="xCollection::refreshFilter".
6. Save the manifest.xsf file and close the text editor.
7. Right-click the manifest.xsf file and choose Design.
8. Test the changes.
