    Filtering a ComboBox List based on a Table Value

    Hi all,

    My database is centered on a main form where users select pieces of information from ComboBoxes (primarily) and submit.



    The first part of the form, they must choose from a list of our clients, which is a table with with roughly 5000 rows.

    Later on in the form, they must choose a contact person from that client. While Client's may have several contact names (which need to be stored in a table), only one name is necessary for the form portion.

    How can I make this Contact Person ComboBox only load names attached to the specific Client selected above? Any ideas?

    As it stands right now, the Client List has its own table (along with additional information), and Contact Name is a separate Table with a look up field of Client List.
