    Drop down List Box like a tree.

    I have a form that is for entering data, my problem is that the dropdown list box is showing only the ID No (autonumber), hope you can see thru this breakdown
    Table Model Table Description Table Brand
    tMID tDID (Dropdown for Table Model) tBID
    tmQNo tDBrand (dropdown from Table Brand) save is the tBID tBName
    tmModelNo (Drowdown List box from Description) what is saved as connection is the tDID tDModel tBType



    Now in the form, what I want to appear in the tmModelNo is the tBName, however, only the number is appearing. How can I have the tBName appear.

    Hope you can enlighten me again on this.

    I'm not sure about what you're trying to do but I wouldn't use "Lookups" in tables (if you are). I would only use those in forms.
    If this helped, please click the star at the bottom left of this posting and add to my reputation . Many thanks.
