    Filter dual-column combo box

    I have a form with two combo boxes. I want the second combo box (cboAffDBD) to filter based on the selection of the first combo box (cboStation). Furthermore, I want the second combo box to display two of its fields from the table. I was able to show the two columns, now I am trying to filter the results.
    Initial code for viewing two columns in one combo box:


    SELECT DISTINCT [tblDBD].[ID], [tblDBD].[station] & " " & tblDBD.prefix FROM tblDBD;

    Now trying to filter the results based on the the selection of cboStation:
    SELECT DISTINCT [tblDBD].[ID], [tblDBD].[station] & " " & tblDBD.prefix FROM tblDBD WHERE station = [forms]![frmChangeRequests].[cboStation].[value];

    Thanks!

    The second combobox RowSource does not make sense. It is the same fields as first combobox. Review http://www.datapigtechnologies.com/f...combobox2.html
