I have three main tables. The first is the table that my main form will be
based on. This is where the user will enter all the data. The table is
called TechnicalProblemsTable. It looks like this:
I can't fit it on the screen, so I'll just list the field headings vertically.
CaseNumber-pk
SolutionNumber

DealerNumber
UnitSerialNumber

Ok, now, upon selection of a category in a combo box with the
ProblemCategoryTable used as the source, I would like a series of check boxes
or a multiselect list box with cooresponding subcategories to appear. I
think I know how to accomplish this...maybe, but I can't get the subcategory
selections to store in the TechnicalProblemsTable. Eventually I want the
user to be able to search the database for different Subcategory Problems.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
