Embed view and set filter from CCK field
You should use arguments instead of filters on your view. That way you can use views_embed_view.

Just add an argument to the view with the same field you would use as a filter. That adds a where condition to the views query in a similar way as a filter would do.

Then pass on the CCK field value as the third argument on your template file like this:

print views_embed_view('view_name', 'default', $node-&gt;field_name[0]['value']);
