Use a udf for this. So it would look like this

SELECT <Publizierte_Spalten> FROM [dbo].[Benutzer] WHERE [Benutzer].Hostname
=dbo.MyUdf(Host_name())

And incorporate your subselect in the udf.

I use merge replication on a SQL 2000 SP4 with dynamic row filtering. It has
been working fine for years.
This was the filter query:

SELECT <Publizierte_Spalten> FROM [dbo].[Benutzer] WHERE [Benutzer].Hostname
= HOST_NAME()

Now I wanted to extend the functionality of the filter query with a
sub-select including another table:

SELECT <Publizierte_Spalten> FROM [dbo].[Benutzer] WHERE
HOST_NAME() IN (SELECT b.Hostname FROM Benutzer b where b.ID
= [Benutzer].ID UNION SELECT b.Hostname FROM BekommtDaten
bd, Benutzer b WHERE b.ID = bd.BenutzerID AND b.Hostname =
HOST_NAME() AND bd.VonBenutzerID = [Benutzer].ID)

It's works fine when the subscription is initialized on the subscriber: The
subscriber gets the right rows.

But when there occur changes in the table which is used in the subselect
(e.g. "BekommtDaten") in that way that the subscriber should get additional
or less rows, it doesn't work. No rows are transfered to / deleted from the
subscriber.

Any ideas how to make it work?

thanks in advace
