Are you adding the control on a subform/subreport? (while inside the main form) using the Control Wizard. That does not work.
Instead you should open the subform in another window and add the control there. That way the Control Wizard will pop up.
If it is not a subform / subreport issue then try reviewing this:

To simulate the wizard functionality of a combo box or list box, one can develop a sequential interface that directs users through a sequence of choices or actions. This may include dynamically altering options based on previous selections, offering informative cues, and guaranteeing a smooth advancement toward the intended result. Such a characteristic improves user experience by transforming intricate procedures into easily manageable steps.

If the OP is not experienced enough to not use the wizard, I doubt writing an equivalent routine is currently within their capabilities

I am also pretty sure the OP meant "Initiate" the wizard not "imitate" the wizard. I think they just want it to start working again, not to recreate it.

Specifically with regard to Aashvi78's response that confused you, it is the consensus of several senior members that the response was the result of asking a question of some Artificial Intelligence engine. We cannot tell which one from the information available to us.

It has been our experience that AI responses are generally (a) too diffuse (too broad-brush) to be directly useful and (b) sometimes not technically correct. Therefore, I would advise that you NOT attempt to follow that particular response anywhere. AND this is a case where you never have to say you're sorry.

@Aashvi78 Welcome to AWF. We are always happy to have new members contribute but please don't use AI to generate answers unless YOU know the answer and can verify that what you get back is not just a hash that the OP would have no way of implementing. Also, as @MajP pointed out the question most likely included a typo (wrong word) which changed the meaning of the question. A human would recognize that as you can see by the first two responses which actually solved the problem, but AI would not.
