    How to display a list of value based on a combo box

    Hi,



    I want to create a combo box on a form where I can choose between 5 company names, and upon my choice, I want a list box or another combo box to display the departments under the company I chose (each company has different departments), and when I choose the department, I want to another combo box to display the limited job titles under that department.

    For example:
    I choose company A > combo box displays the 5 departments under company A (dept.1,2,3,4) I choose dept. 4 > display job titles under dept. 4

    How can I do that? Should I do a table? A query?

    Please help.

    Thanks.
