I have created three tables Companies, Employees, and Issue.
In all three tables I have added CompanyID as a common factor.
In the Employees table I have a field called Name.
In the Issue table I have created combo box field called company name where the source is the companyname field from the companies table . In the same table I have created a combo box field called contact whereas the source is the Name field from the employees table.
What I am trying to do is create a form from the Issue table where the Company Name field and Contact field are inserted in the form however, when I select a company from the dropdown in form view of the issues table the contacts field will have a dropdown only showing me the contact from that particular company only that I can select from.
Can anyone help me with coding this? I am trying to do an SQL query an here is what I have maybe I am wrong.

Select Name
From Employees
Where Companies.companyid = Employees.companyid

I have to be missing something because it is not working. =(

Eb,

Confusion..

Do you mean you created a form based on the Issue table and place 2 combo boxes those are based on the Company table and Employee tables? And when you select company name from the combo..what you want it to do ?

Can you explain it more clearly ?

You must have created combo on the form and not and not in the table.

Hi Ashfaque,

I think EB has signed off for the day, but I think we got this resolved on a different posting. Basically what he was looking for was a way to filter a second combo box, based on the selected value of the first box. I had him create a recordsource for the second that reference the value of the first, and then setup an event on the first to refresh the second whenever it changed.

Later,
