The first option is a hardcoded value. It was used as an example to show you how the Filter works.
The whole thing is wrapped in quotes " ".
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , " FirstName = "" Rost "" "
That means all of it is a one string.
The second option which uses &s has these because you are using the value in the control so it substitutes [FirstNameFilter] with for example "Alex" that you have written in the form.
Private Sub Command8_Click() DoCmd.ApplyFilter , ?FirstName=??? & FirstNameFilter & ???? End Sub
