    I need help!

    I don't know how to do it. I have
    Contract table (Main Form)
    Contract_Name
    Contract_Address

    Line table(Subform)
    Line_No.
    Contract_Name

    Invoice table(Subform)
    Invoice_No.


    Invoice_Line_No.(Combo box with select L_No. from Lines
    Contract_Name

    I want to add data validation combo box?( that will call). I want my combo box list filter by Contract_Name. This is what I try to do; when I click on search button and find the Contract_Name, and then the data list from Invoice_Line_No. combo box change depends on the search data that I chose.
    I've tried few days already. And I have no success.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Can you describe WHAT you are trying to do in plain English to give us some context for your problem/opportunity?
    Could you show us your table and relationships as a jpg?

    Once people have some knowledge of your environment and what you want to accomplish, they may have soome options and questions for you.

    Shouldn't use the period in field names

    Linking using a text field??? Can be done but not the best - autonumber or unique long type field best

    Invoice_Line_No.(Combo box with select L_No. from Lines ................ Lookup TABLES

    FWIW, My 2 pennies......
