Hello

I have a database (Access 2007) that has two tables, reports, queries and so far all seems to be working and going well. Quite impressed with it to be honest for my lack of skills.

However, I've run into a bit of trouble and need assistance getting a combo box to work with another combo box to produce list kind of thing.

The database is a vehicle database and I need the 'Vehicle' combo box to give me a list of vehicles. I then need the 'Model' combo box to produce the models of the car selected in the 'Vehicle' combo box.

Example - If I select 'Ford' from the 'Vehicle' combo box list I want all the models to be displayed in a list form thing in the 'Model' combo box so the user can easily select make and model of the car.

I have two tables:
CarMM
VD

The 'CarMM' table contains a list of around 1,500 records of car makes and models. First column has the 'Vehicle' make and the second field coloumn has the 'Model'.

The 'VD' table contains all other information like the charges, name, the make and model of car once selected in combo box.

I then have the form called 'VD'. In this form contains the combo boxes I want to be cascading.

Any advice on how to do this? I'm quite new to this so any help would be nice. Thanks you very much.
 
Search here on cascading; this has come up many times, and you should find numerous samples.
