Combo box value used for query for other combo box

I have designed a database in access 2010 to run my organisations budget system. I have a form with combo box where a unit selection is made. My problem is that there is a different pricelist table for each different unit. Is it possible to create a combobox where the pricelist of each different unit can be displayed based on the selection of the unit combobox?

You can change the form's Record Source in your combobox's AfterUpdate event. However, it sounds like your database might not be normalized. If you had each of your pricelists in the same table with a field to specify which unit it is for, then your combobox could just filter the form making for a much smoother process.

Thanks for the speedy reply, will try that. What I also found is that it is possible to write to one table from 3 forms which are exactly the same, except that each form has a different price list, don't know if it's a glitch or if it can function like that.

Oh and the reason that there is three pricelists is that the items on all three are the same except for the organisations serial numbers, which by the way is different for each item in every unit, although it might be the exact same item.. ��
