    This is a known issue of using cascading comboboxes with lookups in Continuous or Datasheet forms. There is no simple solution.

    Bear in mind that the combobox is one control. Even though it displays repeatedly on the form, it is the same control. So when you modify the RowSource property, that is what will show in all instances of the control until it is requeried. If the second combobox is multi-column and set to display the lookup alias, the combobox value will appear blank on some rows because the alias value is not available for those records.
