No shortcuts, sorry. You can open the table in design mode and open the
property *** to copy the filter property. this will be placed in the
criteria field of the query builder or the WHERE clause of the query.
Example:
table BucketMaterial
Filter ((BucketMaterial.BucketMaterial="Stainless"))
query SELECT * FROM BucketMaterial WHERE
((BucketMaterial.BucketMaterial="Stainless"))
