    Try the following line as the setting for the Control Source property of the control that will show "z".
    =IIF([a] = "x" AND [b] = "y", "z","")
    If this helped, please click the star at the bottom left of this posting and add to my reputation . Many thanks.

    Thank you very much, this helps a great deal, can you put this in more than once in the same control source for more options?

    If you're using multiple criteria, consider using switch...

    switch([a] = "x" And [b] = "y","z",[a] = "w" And [b] = "v","z",1=1,"")

    It will show the results of the first match (I use 1=1 as a catch-all "Else" in this case).

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
