    Running a query based on 2 combo boxes.

    Hi,
    I am new to access and am trying to do a project.I am stuck,wish some one could help me out.I have made 2 combo boxes which are unbound and seems to work fine in a form.I want to make a query based on the selectionof both the combo boxes.Say,one combo box has locations and other items(chairs,tables,etc,etc).When i select a location in a combo box and table(item) in the other combo box,I want to see all the table names in that location.I tried putting in criteria Forms!FormName!ComboboxName for each but it returns a blank.Can somebody help me please..Thanks in advance.


    P.S I donot know VB.
