    Making a list only display what is relevant

    Hi

    I have been tasked with creating an Access Database at work. I am no expert. Last time I used it was when I was at college in 2004.
    Anyway, I have created a few tables and forms in which to input the data in as you do.
    So I have a form which pulls up the Manufacturer of an item we use.
    I would like to add a list which pulls up a list of all the products we buy from that manufacturer.
    At the moment the closest I have got is when I select a Manufacturer it just lists all the products from all the manufacturers.



    So As an example. If I select "Apple" then I would like it to only call up the Apple Products, so "iPad" and "iPhone 5s" etc.

    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Kind Regards

    Tim

    Hi

    Thanks for the reply.
    I have actually found a easyish way of doing it.
    I created a Query which used my Manufcaturer as a search field and in my query I only have my products as visible.
    I added a list box which used the query as my data and saved the data into the table I have all my Assetted products. Then on my Manufacturers list box created a VBA script to do the me.refresh on click so my Product list box updated.

    I hope this makes sense for anyone who potentially has the same issue

    Thanks
