Trying to filter a form by using a combobox

[Andra]

Hi,
I've been trying to get this right for a while and I've just managed to get more frustrated.


I have 2 tables which I am trying to work with, basically I need to select a word from the wordtable and I want to filter the form by using the combobox and i want it to return a name from the nametable.
nametable has a unique identifier and a primary key but the second table does not have a primary key( i did not create the tables,i just have to work with them). I created a relationship between the 2 tables, the join type is one to many.
I have tried creating a combobox in the form header and also tried filtering by creating a combobox and a subform but I'm getting nowhere.
I've gone step by step following tutorials but I can't seem to adapt the information to my situation.
Thank you

When you say the combobox in the form idea didn't work what exactly do you mean? It often helps to see your wrong "results" to help us.
