Hi,

it's been a good few years since i have used Access and my memory seems to be failing me hope some one can help:

im trying to set a feild that Selects a value from a dropdown box with a set of values , whihc is defined by the results of a previous field selection.

i.e i select an employee from drop down list the next field is the National insurance number, which i want to auto populate based on the answer from the previous table.

also along the same route im trying to make a similar table that when you pick a particular brand of motor car it will populate the next drop down field/box based on the models avalible to that brand.

in both cases i have seperate tables, i presume that i need to make some quieries and some vba code to allow the correct selection but i really don't know where to start.


oh the joys of trying to make p11'd easier
thanks

I will assume you are using a form to populate your tables even though this thread is in the Tables section. Search this forum for Cascading Combo Boxes.
