    Cascading boxes won't work when in subform within another subform???

    I have a problem with cascading combo box not working.



    I have a one form and with two subforms

    One form is "frmReviews" with a subform called "frmbyReviewer" Link Master Fields = Name and Link Child Fields = Reviewer_Name

    Then we have the "frmbyReviewer" with a subform called "frmsubMain" where it's Source Object is another form called "frmMain" and linked by Loan_Number
    Here's the Design View of it.

    Would have to see the combobox RowSource sql.

    I expect it can be done but have to get the form referencing syntax correct.

    The comboboxes of issue are on the third level form frmsubMain?

    Going through multi-level forms is challenging.

    Cascading comboboxes with lookup alias don't work nice on continuous or datasheet view form.

    BTW, names make poor PK/FK links.

    Name is a reserved word. Should avoid reserved words in naming convention.
