Default New To Access and having trouble with synchronized fields

I hope someone can help me. I am pretty new to access and am building a form
that uses synchronized combo boxes. I am able to make it work using 2 boxes.
i.e., Customer Name and Ownership Codes. I’m having problems when I try to
set a similar scenario up for three or more choices. I want to set it up so I
get cascading information for categories, equipment, and levels. If the user
clicks on a category, i.e., Engines, then I want to see associated equipment
information populated in the second box. When the user chooses the equipment
type I want them to then be able to choose the levels based on the
engine/equip choice they made. I have 7 different categories and 50+ types of
equipment and levels. The equipment and levels contain different information
but all 3 things need to tie. I hope this is making sense. I am confusing
myself trying to get this to work and think I may be making it harder then it
has to be. Can someone help me?
