combo boxes in tables
In a FORM, I can have combo box 1 limit the results in combo box 2, but how
can I do this in a TABLE? For example, I have three tables: "Terminal_Info", "Die_Info", "Terminal_Setup". In "Terminal_Setup", I have fields: "ParentPart", "Terminal", "Die". The "Terminal" field has a "row source" looking at "Terminal_Info". Once the user has selected a "Terminal", I want the "Die" combo box to only show those records that are related to that "Terminal". I have tried using the SELECT function, but with no luck. Any ideas? |

The accepted professional solution is to never use lookup fields in table
design. Apparently you know how to accomplish the same with forms (where all data interaction should take place). -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP "closkey" wrote in message ...
