Query influenced by combo box value

Hello,
I have a continuous form with a combo box inside. From the combo box I can
pick some values which, by the "after-update" event, change some other combo
box values determined by a query.
(i.e. I have some tree names and depending on what tree I pick on the other
combo box I can pick its fruits and other properties)

Now, mine is a continous form, and whenever I pick a value from the first
combo box the second one correctly shows the updated values, but the first
combo influences all records' combos in the form.
This way, following with my trees example, if I change the third tree all
combo boxes with properties for other trees change showing properties
related to this tree.

This is the query of the second combo box that depends on the first one
(IDTree):

SELECT DISTINCTROW TblProps.IDProp, TblProps.PropName, TblProps.IDTree FROM
TblProps WHERE (TblProps.IDTree=CurrentRecord.IDTree.value)

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
G

Nothing. In a continuous form view there is what appears to be multiple
ComboBox pairs but there is really is only one pair *shown* repeatedly. When
you change the criteria for the query supplying the rows for the second ComboBox
it HAS to influence all of the Combos you see *because there is only one*.

The only thing that can vary from row to row in a continuous form is the DATA
from the RecordSet (or values derived from that data).
