    Lookup Wizard Help

    Hi guys!



    First off I'm a mega Newb. So this might be a stupid question but I'm still stuck.

    I have created a form in which the users will choose from a pre-determined list. Ex: North, South, East or West.

    I also have a data table which has info for each of those options. For Example:

    North | Blue | Red | Green
    South | Black | White | Pink
    East | Blue | White | Red
    West | Purple | Red | Grey

    So in the form I want a user to be able to choose 'North'' from a list (which I have done with the lookup wizard)
    But once they choose ''North'' I want the options in the next field to be limited to ''Blue, Red or Green'' if they choose ''South'' then they should only be able to choose ''Black, White or Pink''

    Any help on how this can be done explained in the simplest terms possible would be super appreciated.

    Thank you!
