If you want, you can manually enter filter condition in SQL query instead of using "Apply Filters" dialog. In SQL query, at the end, put "Where filter conditions" by removing earlier condition, if any.
Here are some examples of filters.
name = 'John'
amount >= 2000
birthdate = #1/1/1978#
time >= #2:10#
birthdate >= '1-jan-1978'
Note: Using # for filter conditions may change depending on which database you are using. MS Access, Excel allows to uses # where as Oracle, SQL Server allows to use single quote (') for date filter values.
SQL Query Example : Where name='John' and birthdate > #1/1/1978# or EmpID > 15
For Oracle/SQL Server: Where name='John' and birthdate >
'1-jan-1978' or EmpID > 15
