Multiple One-To-Many Relationship (1 Viewer)

[anto.danny]

Hello there,

I am trying building a filter using three list box and they filter down at each selection in the list box.

Requirement:

List box:-

1. Equipment type
2. Manufacturer
3. Model

When the user selects equipment type the manufacturer list box should show only manufacturers of the selected equipment type, similarly on the selecting manufacturer the Model list box should show only models made by that manufacturer.

How can I do this?

You need to research Cascasding Combo Boxes.

I had a plan to make tables relationship as one-to-many but the thing is the equipment type will have unique ID but manufacturer cannot be unique as a single manufacturer can make multiple equipment type. So I can make a one to many relationship between equipment type and manufacturer but i cant do the same between manufacturer and model. So I'm lost...:banghead::banghead::banghead:

Can some post a sample so I can get a basic idea on doing this.
