Linked Look-up Menus

I am trying to make a program for timesheets that will allow me to
keep track of the number of hours that employees are spending on
various jobs, doing different tasks, on different days, etc.

We are a concrete forming company, and do work in all different
fields, such as industrial, residential, agricultural, etc. I would
like to have a look-up menu that has each type of work, and then
another menu that will only give me the job sites that fit into the
category that I have selected. This will make so that there are fewer
mistakes in data entry. Is this possible?

I would also like to be able to take job sites off of the list of jobs
that I can add data about, but not off of the list that there is data
(from the past) about. Is this like an expiry date of sorts, or how
does that work.

I am not an Access junkie, and I have very little programming
experience. I do understand programming however, so with reasonably
detailed responses, I should be able to figure it out.

Thank you very much for your help

i'm not real clear on what you're looking for with the second, but the
first can be accomplished by limiting data via the Record Source
property of the form.

see this thread for more details.
