Firstly sorry if the wall of text is abit well walley

I am trying to design a querie which lets you select multiple criteria from a drop down combo box (job skill) so when it runs you are promted to enter skill1, skill2, etc and then shows a table of people with all the skills selected.

i am abit rusty with my SQL (tho i am rebrushing up on it with the many books i seem to ahev baught oevr the years) so imusing the query builder in access.
once i set up the fields i want, i am using the parameter [enter skill here] and it works fine, the problem is if i want rmeo then one skill, i have tried using [text] & [text] but it only asks once for the skill as before.
I have also tried using it in diff columns with the same results

does anybody have any ideas as to how to do this using a look up combo box, (or as this is just a prototype any other sugestions)
I have looked on google breifly but the results can be vague or unrelated, so if u have a way to point i dont mind doing the research myself

or if its SQL statement thats ok also

If you need more info please say

Thsi is not a school project its for a job (there current database software isnt rly compatable with this side branch of the company, so i have been asked to make a quick access database to handle it)

Thanks for any help you can give
