Cascading Combo boxes
Hi,
I recently studied the introduction & intermediate access 2010 course with stl-training.co.uk and at the time it all made sense, however I am trying to put this knowledge into action but am failing somewhere.
What I am trying to achieve is a form whereby there are 2 combo boxes, one that says machinetype, the other that says machinename.
I would like it so that when you select a machinetype, the only machinenames that are available in the second combo box are directly related to the machinetype that was selected on the first combobox. However, I am struggling and cannot get this to work.
I suspect I may be getting the relationship between my two tables wrong but dont know where to start to troubleshoot.
Can someone let me know what I should be checking to try and indentify the problem and its solution.
Thank you.
Steve.
RE: Cascading Combo boxes
Hi Steve,
Thank you your question.
It probaby would be a good idea to check your table relationships.
However you would need to write a VBA procedure to produce your cascading combo boxes.
Here is a link to some help on this matter.

I hope this helps.
