    Combo Boxs

    If i had a form based on a table.


    a combo box on this form based on an other table
    the form records are filtered on this combo box

    All OK so far.

    now since i have to many records i wish to further filter down by using another combo box.

    so the filter order will be combo1, combo2 filters off combo one. the form filters off combo 2.

    no i have the record source on the form set to combo2.

    but i am not having much luck getting combo 2 to filter off combo 1.

    well it will filter but only the first time and then will not change after that

    cheers

    The topic is called Cascading Combo boxes
    There are free video tutorials here that should help.
