Default combo boxes

Hi

Please help.

I have created a form with a subform. I have a 2 combo boxes in the subform.

When I choose an option on the 1st combo box it restricts the choices
through an SQL query on the other combo box.

However, the 2nd combo box, when restricted will only let me choose the
first option.

Any ideas?

Default combo boxes

What are the queries/SQL statements that 'feed' those comboboxes?

You may want to check out MS KB article 209595 - "How to Synchronize Two
Combo Boxes on a Form." That article helped me get started

You can also use the Build dialog box to add a reference to the one combo
box in a second combo box as part of query criteria. Of course, that
requires the combo boxes be used in a particular sequence.
