I have run into a problem with SharePoint that is frustrating my users to no end. I have a large list (>5000 rows) that users can arrive at by clicking links formatted like this
http://my.farm.com/mfg/MySite/Lists/PLOT%20Compliance%20Exception/OpenIssues.aspx?FilterField1=Area&FilterValue1=DRY%20ETCH
However once they click on that and get to the view, they are not able to add any more filter options manually. If they click on a column (all the columns are indexed) header they get a cryptic error message like this:
Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131904<br/><br/>Correlation ID:abc5ef9c-08bb-d0a2-a96a-efc6c7c0418d<br/>
However, if I visit the same base view (show below) without any filters in the URL I can then manually add all the filters that were in the previous URL. The base view always returns < 5000 rows so the large list limit shouldn't affect it.

Is there any way to craft a URL that will filter the view AND allow the user to modify it further without triggering errors?
