White film inside the dishwasher and on dishes

There is a while film through out the inside of the dishwasher and leaves a film on all dishes, glasses and silverware. Would like to know what this is caused from and what I can do to get rid of it. The inside of the dishwasher is stainless steal.
I use powder dishwasher soap and a drying agent. I clean all the dishes before I put them in the dishwasher. 

Thank you Kelly in Phoenix

    I've used all of the above and still had this problem, but only on plastics. I now only wash glass in the dishwasher and plastics by hand. And I've tried every type of dishwasher detergent (powder, liquid, tablets).

Hard water is the reason for the spots. There is a new product out at www.dishwasherfilter.com that is made specifically to fix this problem. It filters the water going only into your dishwasher leaving your dishes spot free with every load. It is very affordable and guaranteed to work or your money back. You will love the way your dishes look after the very first load.

Usa a liquid detergent and rinse agent. Make sure your water is above 120 degrees. If you are a hard water area, use a detergent containing a water softener.
