Looks good to me, as best as I can tell from this remote vantage!

I have discovered that these combo boxes are on a subform. Do I have to list
the main form AND subform somewhere in the filter?

Yes, in the syntax

=[Forms]![mainformname]![subform].Form![controlname]

where [subform] is the name of the Subform Control on the main form (which
might be different from the Name property of the Form object within that
control).

John,

Would I find the subform control in the properties of the main form?

Getting closer but new problem.

The 2nd combo box which displays records based on the selection of the first,
only displays records for first 9 selections in the top box. When 10-42 is
selected in the first box, no records will show in the second box. Is this a
properties setting?
