Where Statment not needed

[Dick7Access]

I have cmdButton that opens a form (frmPics) that when it opens it displays three bitmaps pertaining to record being view at the time. Originally I had an embedded macro do this. This is what is listed in the embedded macro:

  OpenForm
              Form Name frmPics
              View   Form
      Filter Name
  Where Condition  = [chid]=[Forms]![all churches F]![CHID]
  Data Mode
  Window Mode  Normal

Wanting to switch to VBA I put in new cmdButton and wrote this code:

  Private Sub cmdPics2_Click()
  DoCmd.OpenForm "frmPics"
  End Sub

Expecting it to open just the form without the reference to the Id, and then I would study how to write code for a where statement.
It still reference the record that I am on. Since I am switching from embedded macro to VBA for the sake of learning VBA I am perplexed by this happing.
Can anybody tell me why the where statement is not needed?
