    Query for Lookup Values

    Dear friends. I have 3 tables in the following format



    TBL DIVISIONS
    Division ID
    Division Name

    TBL_BUSINESS_UNITS
    Division ID
    Business Unit

    TBL_PRODUCTS
    Product ID
    Product Name
    Division
    Business Unit

    Each division may have several business units.
    Each product may belong to one division.

    I wish the user to select the product and define the division. Based on the division value the user should see the list of available business units in the product table (its very similar when user selects the US state and then selects the Cities which belongs to the current state only).

    I can't understand what type of query I should develop for the TBL_PRODUCTS - Business Unit vlookup field.

    Thanks for help.

    Thanks, I know this method it is applicable to forms only. But I wish to update info in tables directly.

    To my knowledge there isn't a way directly in a table or query. Most of us never let users in tables/queries directly anyway. You have little control at that point.

    in other words, is it possible to have a cascading drop-down at the table level?
