Populate on combo box based on another

4 New Member
Hey everyone,

I have two combo boxes in a form, and I'm trying to populate one based on the selection of another. I tried using someting like [Forms]![Form name]![Combo Box name] in the criteria of the query for the row source of the secondary combo box, but it doesn't seem to be working. What do I do? Thanks!

The source of the combo box is a table from another database that keeps adding up (currently we have around 1500 records, around 5-20 new records...

I have tried every option that I can think of and most of them on this forum. The closest that I got was to bring up the field but it changed the other records based on what was chosen in one record. Details: DB with one main table and several list (reference) tables. I want to populate several list boxes on one form based on a choice from a combo box. Example: Tables:

I have been trying to figure out this problem for a while. All I want to do is have a combo box populate a list box and the list box change to the record based on the users choice. The combo box is active and find a record based on user input. The list box gets its values from the combo box and the list box can also change the form to the record chosen by the user. The list box and combo box are on the same form.
